If arrest and additional charges is reason enough for people to show up to court, it is not working.
I have seen little old ladies lose their home because their POS grandchild had them post bail and she was on the hook for it. That was her decision, just like it was the decision of her crackhead grandson to skip town.
Without some sort of punitive punishment, there would be more now shows. Arrest is a deterrent for very few things for some people
