Hi just a quick question. if I fail to appear in nsw for a common assault and wilful damage charge and then move to Queensland what measures will police take to find me??? Will they use my tax details or anything of the like and possibly come to my work place??
Thank you for reading I await your educated responses!

You can not out run the law. I am not sure what will happen, but most properly there will be a warrant on you and then you will be caught sometime when you don't expect it and your life will not be easy.
It is better to take care of it and don't let it hang in the open, in addition, there will be more penalties for not attending. Although it is hard to face it now but it will be a lot better than facing it later one with additional charges. Nothing is free in life.
