an arrest warrant must be served within 30 days of the missed time of the appointed court date, but it depends on the charge and how many warrants you have in the system. The warrant is in effect when you do not make another appointment within the 30 days or turn yourself into the local police station, if not stay on the move. Do the right thing.

Is there a time limit that police have to file an indictment after a warrant is served?
The police do not file indictments. They apply for and/or receive the warrant, arrest you, and present you to the prosecutor and court - usually, by law, within 72 hours after arrest. After that it becomes the courts responsbility to move the case forward.
What if the search warrant is not executed in 10 days?
Although an "open" serve would be unusual, unless the service time of the warrant was specifically time limited, there is no requirement that a warrant be acted upon within so many days of issuance. Sometimes, situations and events must coincide in order for the warrant to be served and obtain effective results.

Can a house be searched with a federal felony arrest warrant?
Yes. If an ARREST warrant is being served the house and areas within the house may be searched to locate an individual. But, no search for an individual may be made in areas in which it would not be possible for the subject to conceal themselves. (i.e.- any place obviously too small to contain a human). BE ADVISED: Any activity or items discovered lying or occurring in the plain view of the searching officers, MAY become the basis for applying for and subsequently executing a SEARCH warrant for the premises however.
How long can anyone be held without having a warrant served?
Absent very unusual and rare circumstances, a person in custody must be charged within 72 hours of their arrest. Other charges may be pending or discovered while that person is in custody. There may be a valid arrest warrant for someone already in custody, but the jurisdiction holding it may delay serving it and arresting someone until their other charges are dispensed with. For example, John Doe may be in jail in State X after being arrested for burglary. State Y has an active arrest warrant for John, but they wait for State X to finish with John. Several years later, after John Doe has been convicted and has served his prison time in the State X Prison, cops from State Y show up at the prison gate as John is walking out. They arrest him on their warrant and bring him back to State Y, where he is tried on the charges pending there.
Can a Texas police officer arrest you when he pulls you over for having a shoplifting misdeameanor warrant out for your arrest in Florida?
No, a police officer in Texas cannot arrest you solely based on a shoplifting misdemeanor warrant from Florida. Generally, warrants are only valid within the jurisdiction they were issued. However, if the police officer in Texas discovers the warrant during the interaction, they may notify the Florida authorities, who can then take appropriate steps to apprehend you.

Why is a warrant generally necessary to a lawfully arrest a person who is residing within his or her own home?
(in the US) A warrant is NOT necessarily required. If the person living there is KNOWN to be wanted for a felony offense, law enforcement may arrest them at any time, with or without a warrant. Not unless the person attempts to hide themselves within the house is a search warrant for the premises required. HOWEVER - in the case of a misdemeanor offense, a warrant would be required because of the elapsed time between the offense and the arrest requires one. Also - in the case of felony offenses - occasionally ongoing investigations run over a lengthy periods of time and after gathering sufficient evidence that the wanted person committed the crime, it is better to present the affidavit containing the probable cause to the judge and have a warrant issued which can then be served at anytime thereafter.
Is someone able to get a job with an arrest warrant?
Yes you can... Warrants do not show up on background checks-only things you have been convicted for. I had an arrest warrant for 6 months that I didn't know about and still got a job within that time. Now if they figure out where you work, they will come n snatch you up there-be careful!!
What is the statute of limitations on a traffic violation in Pennsylvania?
Generally, you can be cited or arrested for a misdemeanor or other low-grade offense within a year of the act. However, if you have already been issued a citation, the statute of limitations stopped running when the ticket was issued. If you didn't appear in court for the citation, it's likely that an arrest warrant has been issued for you. Arrest warrants have no statute of limitations. They are valid until served or recalled.
