I lost my case in traffic court in virginia, paid $350 of the $500 fine, lost my job, moved to another state, became employed, and now want to clear up my prior record. Because I failed to pay the balance of my ticket, a bench warrant was issued in virginia against me. What can I now do to clean up my record?
You need to make arrangements to appear again before the court to answer not only the original charge that remains open but also for the bench warrant, which will probably involve further fines, costs and penalties. But you do have to clear up both and the only way to do so if to go before the court. It certainly would be better to show up voluntarily rather than be picked up on an open warrant.
