Best Answer

A capias is a warrant or order for arrest of a person, typically issued by the judge or magistrate in a case. It is an "original' warrant instituted by a judicial officer themself, and not upon the affidavit of law enforcement. It is effective until you are apprehended, the capias is withdrawn by the judicial officer who issued it, or the statute of limitations on the offense runs out.

What does Stay due date mean in criminal court?

When a court imposes a fine, it often will allow the fine and costs to be paid on a later date by granting a "stay to pay." If so, the fine and costs may be paid anytime before, or on, the stay date the same way all other fines are paid. If the amount due is not paid and the defendant does not appear in court on the stay date, the judge can be expected to issue a CAPIAS requiring the arrest and incarceration of the defendant until the fine is paid or "served" in jail at the rate of $30 per day. If you have a CAPIAS outstanding solely because you failed to pay a fine, you can have the CAPIAS canceled by paying the fine the same way all other fines are paid. If you chose not to pay the fine, you should expect to be arrested and incarcerated until the fine is paid, or the jail time is done.
