California Warrants - Recalling a Bench Warrant for Contempt of Court
Failure to Pay Fines or Restitution
A bench warrant may be issued for any failure to obey a court order. This is most applicable if you are on probation for a prior criminal offense. If you fail to comply with any term of the probation, it may amount to a probation violation for which the court can issue a bench warrant for your arrest. Under California Penal Code Section 1203.2, a court has the discretion to rearrest any probationer, whether under the supervision of a probation officer or not, for any violation of probation. If, for example, you fail to complete your court-ordered classes, community service, or mandatory drug-testing under the terms of probation, you may be charged with a probation violation and be ordered back to the court through the issuance of a bench warrant.
