Check yourself before you arrest yourself

The Clark County District Attorney’s Office recently introduced a new program called “Warrant Wednesdays.” Every week, the DA will spotlight a different outstanding warrant on social media (#LVWarrantWednesday), in hopes that we’ll help track down defendants who have gone to ground. Warrant Wednesdays is a great idea (albeit less savory than Taco Tuesdays, but whatcha gonna do), but only if you don’t have an outstanding warrant yourself—and you might, due to identity theft or unpaid traffic fees.

According to local attorney Dayvid Figler, it’s not a bad idea to conduct a quick search of the online court records of Clark County, the City of Las Vegas, Henderson and North Las Vegas. It could save you the unexpected embarrassment of being arrested—or worse still, put on Facebook/Twitter blast.
