Yes, depending on the circumstances there are different warrants for the different issues that arise for instance if you fail to comply with court ordered stipulations this can trigger a warrant issued by Judge. You also have probation warrants for failure to report as previously scheduled, failure to pass drug test and/or catching a new case while currently a probationer that causes a violation against the rules and regulations of probation. Look at it like this you have previously had a warrant you squared away however a new case was caught prior to old case completion than you don't show up for you new case or give or take old case a warrant will be issued and bail if any can be revoked.
Contact the Sheriff's Department (not the police department) for the COUNTY in which the person is residing and alert them to the person's current location, the county which issued the warrant and the person's name or other identifying information. If the warrant is for a felony or serious misdemeanor, the Sheriff's Department will take it more seriously. If you are reporting them for a lessor offense and the person is outside the county in which the warrant was issued, you may not get any response.
Generally yes. The more severe a charge for which the warrant was issued the more aggresive the search will be.
I am not able to view police records to see when the first warrant was issued. If you are looking for information on a warrant, I recommend contacting your local police department for more information.
Almost impossible to answer without knowing much more detail.
Very much. A warrant is issued before a conviction, and our criminal justice system is based on the idea that we are innocent until proven guilty so a warrant is no indication of guilt. It is also very possible that a warrant can be served on the wrong person. A warrant has all the identifying information available to the court, but it is possible that the information is nothing more than a name and a date of birth.
Need more information as to the circumstances in order to answer.
If you have a warrant, the best thing to do is to just turn yourself in. This will keep you from getting in more trouble in the event that you get caught by the police.
If you missed a court date or didnt pay a fine while in jail and a warrant was issued, all you would need to do is appear before the issuing judge and give him proof that you were in jail during the time the warrant was issued.
Possible but extremely unlikely. It is more likely that the judge will issue a default judgment against you instead of issuing a warrant.
A warrant can be acted upon years later, even if you aren't caught right after it is issued. Most of the time, for small offenses, it is more of a pain and costs more money to try to to find you than the county/state is willing to pay. However, for offenses dealing with drugs, rape, murder, etc, I would certainly be worried about the warrant.
There is no set answer. If the FTA (Failure to Appear) warrant stems from a serious case the police are more likely to consider it a priority to find the person and serve the warrant. In lesser matters, the police are more likely to notify the person that a warrant has been issued and make arrangements for them to turn themselves in. Some departments also have dedicated warrant service officers or teams who serve warrants all the time. Other departments have to prioritize more and are less likely to spend a lot of time or resources on a minor matter.
A death warrant signed by the Governor or President, which can only be signed for the execution of a condemned person (a person who has been sentenced to death by a trial judge ). As we are apparently International, I would venture to say that a Fatwa issued by a senior Ayatollah is far more serious. It certainly scared the pants off Salman Rushdie.
