Let me play devil's advocate for a moment ...
Are we saying there should be a statute of limitations on arrest warrants for skipping out on fines and probation? The good news is Homeland Security is screening cruse ship passengers for a criminal history. The bad news is they waited until after the ship returned. What was the officer's discretion in this case with respect to the arrest? Could an appearance ticket be issued instead? Should he ignore the warrant? Actually, maybe that was good discretion on their part since they could have pulled him off before the cruise left. At least he got his vacation and can now clear up the fine.

We shouldn't have to play devil's advocate to advocate that one should not skip out on his sentence.
