Facing the Warrant Music: How to Find Out
There are a few ways to crack the code and see if you're Philly's most wanted (spoiler alert: you're probably not, but let's check anyway).
1. The Digital Detective:
- The Philadelphia Municipal Court website [pulls out magnifying glass] offers a free warrant search! Just pop in your info and see if anything pops up. Warning: This might not be the most comprehensive search, but it's a good first step.
2. Dial M for Mystery (Maybe It's a Warrant):
QuickTip: Skim the intro, then dive deeper.
- You can always call the friendly folks at the Philadelphia Municipal Court ([phone number goes here]) and inquire about any outstanding warrants in your name. Be prepared to answer some questions and have your ID handy.
3. The In-Person Approach (For the Bold and the Brave):
- Feeling adventurous? Head down to the Philadelphia Municipal Court and do a warrant check in person. Bonus points for dressing like Sherlock Holmes (although that might raise some eyebrows).
Important Note: These methods might reveal bench warrants, which are issued for missing court appearances. If you think you have a more serious warrant, it's best to consult with an attorney.
Signs You MIGHT Have a Warrant (But Probably Don't):
- You hear the Liberty Bell ring in Morse code, spelling out "WANTED."
- Gritty the mascot keeps following you around, giving you the side-eye.
- Every pigeon you see seems to be carrying a tiny WANTED poster with your face on it.
If you experience any of these (highly unlikely) occurrences, then maybe, just maybe, you have a warrant.
QuickTip: Look for repeated words — they signal importance.
