What if I received a DUI in one state and then moved to another without taking care of it?

If you received a DUI in the state you formerly lived in and did not take steps to take care of the violation, there is very likely a warrant for your arrest in your former state based on a ‘failure to appear in court’ violation (known as FTA). Even though you are now living in another state, the state that you got the DUI in will still require that you take necessary steps as ordered by their state’s court. In fact, if you are pulled over in another state, you’ll likely be arrested and, perhaps, extradited to your former state.
