You are right to want to turn yourself in and take care of these warrants. The fact is that warrants do not expire. Therefore, you could be taken into custody if you are stopped for speeding, jaywalking, etc. And it is best to appear before the judge voluntarily. Since you have 3 warrants, it is critical to get expertienced legal counsel to represent you in this matter. Heavy fines and/or jail time may attach in this situation. At this point, you should consult directly with a criminal law attorney in the area of where the warrants were issued. They can best advise you further.
