A: If there is a valid warrant for your arrest and the police know it's you, they can take all necessary steps to take you into custody.

A: If you have a valid warrant and you get pulled over and they ask you out of the car, you have to get out of the car or you could be looking at additional charges for resisting arrest. You really should hire an attorney to assist you with this warrant matter.
