Say you’re charged with burglary 2nd degree (felony 3) and robbery (felony 4), and failed to appear at initial appearance before a Supreme Court judge; consequently there is now an arrest warrant for you. Hypothetically not an uncommon occurrence.

You don’t drive, so wouldn’t be at risk of being arrested at a traffic stop, and then the question becomes: would police come to your house to execute the warrant? If not, what are the possible ways you’d be “found out” to get detained and brought before the judge?

It seems like this is a legal loophole: just fail to appear and then resume life, following the law, avoiding the cops. While there’s no expiration for arrest warrants, would you potentially be able to avoid facing trial for the theft and just answer to the failure to appear?

Trying to make sense of the perceived loophole, thanks!

Thanks for the thoughts!
