Just go into a police station and tell the guy at the front you are there to turn yourself in. When he asks you what for, you reply: you tell me?!

You need to have a law enforcement officer do a warrant check. It’s kind of a bummer because if it comes back with one they’re probably taking you in unless it’s a stupid traffic warrant they don’t want to dick with.

damn thats rough, guess well find out when i show up for court in december, i figured they might tell me just incase i didnt know there was a warrant out and instead of looking like a fugitive i could turn myself in.

Its in another state i was living there for the last year and just moved, but i left 4 months ago and the only thing i got in trouble for up there was a stupid traffic violation nothing serious, but court for that is in december, it jus got back to me that i guess cops questioned a few people about me a month after i had left.

I doubt there is a warrant out for a traffic violation that you didn't skip court for. The warrant would come if you decided not to go to court or not to do whatever you get sentenced to (I had a 8hour driver school class from a long time ago I didn't know about and when I went back to FL from NC I had a warrant out for it).

Will I have to go to NC in person to take care of my warrant there or will a lawyer be able to do it without me having to fly/greyhound down there?


Since we have the thread already...
I don't know if you got an answer to this, but I got a ticket in NC during a road trip in 2013 and you pretty much had to get a lawyer for the court date. They do some lawyer voodoo after you pay them and it's like nothing happened.

I know this issue is a few years old, but almost all courts allow you to look up your record online and should tell you if you have a warrant.

***ARISE FROM THE DEAD***

Butthurt Butthurt could you possible give me a plain text reading of this Oklahoma contracts statute?

Every contract, by which the amount of damages to be paid, or other compensation to be made, for a breach of an obligation, is determined in anticipation thereof, is to that extent void, except as expressly provided by Section 215 of this title.


Does this say that if the damages are determined ahead of knowing the cost of a set of repairs then the contract is void?

For instance, if a contractor says they will repair a house for X amount of money to be determined in the future, but if you back out of the contract you owe 15% of X in liquidated damages then a contract stating that would be void?

AI thinks I am right. It's Microsoft, though, so I don't trust it.

You
Can you tell me what Oklahoma Statute 15 Section 214 says?


Copilot
Oklahoma Statute 15 Section 214 states that every contract, by which the amount of damages to be paid, or other compensation to be made, for a breach of an obligation, is determined in anticipation thereof, is to that extent void, except as expressly provided by Section 215 of this title1234. This means that any provision in a contract that attempts to predetermine the damages for a future breach of the contract is generally not enforceable, unless it is specifically allowed under Section 215. Please consult with a legal professional for a more detailed understanding.

You
Can you provide an example of this ?


Copilot
Sure, let’s consider a hypothetical scenario:
Suppose you’re a software developer and you sign a contract with a company to deliver a software project within 6 months. The contract includes a clause that states if you fail to deliver the project on time, you will have to pay a predetermined amount of $50,000 as damages to the company.
Now, according to Oklahoma Statute 15 Section 214, this clause is generally unenforceable because it attempts to predetermine the damages for a potential future breach of the contract. The actual damages the company might incur due to the delay could be more or less than $50,000, and it’s not appropriate to decide this amount in advance.
However, there are exceptions under Section 215 where such a clause might be enforceable. It’s always recommended to consult with a legal professional for a more detailed understanding and application of these laws.




You
would it still apply to your hypothetical if the predetermined amount was a percentage of an unknown future value?


Copilot
Yes, the principle would still apply. If a contract includes a clause that determines in advance the damages for a potential future breach as a percentage of an unknown future value, it would generally be unenforceable under Oklahoma Statute 15 Section 214.
For example, if the contract states that you would have to pay 20% of the project’s future profits as damages if you fail to deliver on time, this clause would typically be unenforceable. The reason is the same: it attempts to predetermine the damages for a potential future breach of the contract.
However, as always, there could be exceptions under Section 215, and the specific circumstances of the case can also influence the outcome. Therefore, it’s recommended to consult with a legal professional for a more detailed understanding and application of these laws.
