I am a registered voter and received a letter in the mail to report for jury duty. However, it was mailed to a different address. It was actually sent to my father in laws house. I never lived there nor am I registered to vote with that address. Did I break the law by not reporting? Is this some sort of fraud? Shouldn't it have been mailed to the address where I am registered to vote at?

Really? That is what I was concerned about. Would that affect me if I were to be pulled over?

If the courthouse clears up the issue, make sure you have some paperwork showing as much.

Once an arrest warrant is issued, the patrol officer may have a physical copy and may not be immediately notified if it is then pulled. A good officer would check the validity of a FTA warrant, but not all officers are thorough. Phyical evidence of resolution may help you in that situation.

I will keep all the paperwork. Again, Thank you! God Bless You!

You would be arrested obviously. This is assuming the judge/court clerks have done the paperwork.

Which is why I recommend you reach out to see if they have, so that you aren't surprised later when its a huge inconvenience. They don't necessarily have to get you on a traffic stop either. If a patrol officer finds the time they might show up at your door or place of employment.
