The first is bond warrant wherein the defendant may post bond in order for him to be able to prevent imprisonment and for the bench warrant to be deleted from his records. The second type of bench warrant is the no-bond warrant which is usually issued by the judge in serious offenses. In the second type, the warrant shall stand unless the defendant appeared before the judge and explain why he failed to appear on the date stated in the summons or subpoena. Bond warrants are usually issued for traffic violations. This type of warrant ensures that after the payment of the fine and after appearance before the judge, the same will be taken care of by the court. However, the issuance of a no-bond warrant is a serious matter which must be dealt with by the defendant.
