is a failure ti appear the same as a capias for criminal traffic?
In Florida, a 'Failure to Appear' and a 'Capias' are not the same. A 'Failure to Appear' refers to not showing up to a court date, while a 'Capias' is a warrant issued for your arrest. Both have serious legal consequences and often result in additional penalties.
whats the difference then
In Florida, a 'Failure to Appear' is a charge for not attending a scheduled court date. A 'Capias' is a court order directing law enforcement to arrest an individual for failing to appear in court or for another specific reason. The key difference is that a capias results in an arrest.
