An arrest warrant does not grant any form of entry into a residence. If you answer the door they can arrest you, if not they cannot. The exception to this is warrants for felonies, which allow them to enter the premises if they have cause to believe you are there or that evidence of where you have gone might be found there.

Can police come into your house without a physical arrest warrant in Ohio to arrest someone living there?

What does the questioner mean by having the "physical" arrest warrant?If it means that, even though there is an existing warrant, but they just don't happen to have it in their possession - for them to act on the knowledge that the warrant exists is still lawful. They do not need to have the actual warrant in their possession in order to act on it.As in most cases involving the law, the CIRCUMSTANCES of the situation dictate what law enforcement can, and should not do. For example;If the police are in 'fresh pursuit' of someone and they run into the house they CAN pursue and arrest the individual inside.If they knock on your door - you open it - and behind you, they see the wanted individual sitting in your living room, they can enter and effect the arrest.

If you are not the residence of a house and they police arrive to arrest someone at the home do you have to open the door to them?

If they are instructing you to open the door and do do not listen to there commands you can be arrest for obstruction. If you are obstructing or hindering a police investigation they can arrest you. Also in some cases if the police come with a warrant you might not have to open the door they just might do it for you.

Will customs arrest you for a misdemeanor traffic warrant?

Before a Customs agent would make an arrest for a warrant of any type, the agent would have to believe the agency holding the warrant would come to the port of entry where the arrest was made to pick up the person with the warrant. If the agency is adjacent to the port of entry (e.g. a San Diego warrant in San Ysidro), this is likely. If the agency holding the warrant was distant to the port of entry, it's unlikely they will expend the time and money to fetch someone with a misdemeanor warrant.


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!!


My boyfriend has a few warrants if they were to get a search warrant at his house and i were there could i get arrested also?

The short answer is no. In order for the police to search your boyfriend's house, they need to obtain a search warrant from a judge or magistrate where they demonstrate that there is probable cause that evidence of a crime in present in the house. If the police execute an arrest warrant, they can only search the reaching area where your boyfriend is found and conduct a protective search of areas in the house where a person can hide. Unless you have nothing to do with any of his criminal activity, then they will not and cannot arrest you. If they come to the house to arrest your boyfriend, just say nothing and do not impede what they are doing. If they believe you are engaging in any sort of criminal activity, they most likely will arrest you just to have leverage over your boyfriend. The larger question is what the hell are you doing with someone who has a "few" warrants out on him?
