Today, I was told there was a bench warrant out for my arrest because a notice to appear for jury duty was sent to my old address and I never responded. I haven't lived at my old address for 2 years. FML

If you can prove that you haven't lived there in 2 years maybe they can clear it up? It was just a misunderstanding after all.

Wow.........sounds like the state I live in

Did you update your address on the electoral roll when you moved? If not, YDI.

Yeah I had a warrant out for my arrest, because I felled to show up to jury duty. My dad had a heart attack that night, and I obviously forgot I had it. Just explain the situation they will understand.

A bench warrant is not an arrest warrant those a 2 separate warrants. You just have to go to court an serve your jury duty. I work for the california courts

That happened to me on the 3 year anniversary of my mothers death I was pulled over for a tail light with my toddler in the car. I hadn't lived at that address in 2 years also. They made me wait to have someone come get my child to take me into custody. I was treated like crap until I got to the actual county I was suppose to be in. Good thing my Grammy was a well known person in my old town & that helped me out. It was thrown out. It was a small mistake. But what bothers me is they took me in with my child for something that even the police officer at the county I was sent to said was ridiculous. He said he would have just had me come in the next day. Oh well. It's over & nothing bad happened.

The land of the free. Unless a cop feels like showing off how big his dick is.

They take Jury Duty very seriously. Not only that, the boredom of Jury Duty will make you want to kill yourself. It is that f**king boring, especially if it's your first time...

Did you fill out a change in address form? If not things may keep going to your old address...

If you did everything you were supposed to do when you moved, like file a change of address form and update your voter registration, then FYL OP. But if you didn't, YDI.

I read this today, got home to find a Jury Notice in my mailbox, which was sent to my old address.At least USPS forwarded it to my current residency.still not excited about it.
