Q: Do I have to handle a fta warrant before i do SATOP classes to get my license back
I live in California and cant go to Missouri to handle the warrant, I am trying to get my license here but have to do a SATOP equivalency class to get the hold off my license. Do I have to handle the warrant and case first? Can I go ahead and do the classes and get my license back
A:
if there is a warrant that must be cleared up.
is the warrant related to a driving issue?
you can retain a lawyer in Missouri to take care of it for you in most misdemeanor cases.
however, most lawyers in California will not know the law and procedures in that state.
A: It is important to address any outstanding warrants before attempting to resolve your license suspension or reinstatement. If you have a failure to appear (FTA) warrant, it is possible that it could affect your ability to complete the SATOP equivalency classes or obtain a valid driver's license. You may want to consult with a local attorney who can provide guidance on how to resolve the warrant and ensure that you are in compliance with all necessary legal requirements for obtaining a driver's license in California.
