The people at the department of motor vehicles are not police officers and do not arrest people. You should take care of the warrant so that this does not haunt you. Get counsel.

It is very unlikely that anyone at the collector's office would do a background check for warrants. Additionally, only a law enforcement officer would try and detain you. Of course, if you encounter a police officer or sheriff's deputy then you are subject to having the warrant executed on you. The best thing to do is to contact a bondsman and find out how much the bond is on your warrant and have the bondsman walk you through the jail so you can have the warrant served and get out quickly.
