OFFICERS UPON CONTACT, WILL VERIFIEY IDENTITY THROUGH IDENTIFICATION OR IF NO ID THROUGH FINGERPRINTS.

Being booked on the warrant is not a given as many police agencies will set a court date and release on a notrice to appear citation. This is normally the case with misdemeanor warrants.
To serve an arrest warrant and make an arrest when it is known that the individual named in the warrant is inside - POSSIBLY - depending on the circumstances.To serve a search warrant and search the premises for articles and contraband, yes, they do not need your poermission.
As often as they want until the warrant is taken care of.
Pay the fine and it is 'resolved'! warrants do not 'expire' :(
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.
Yes, they may accompany officers of the jurisdiction in which the warrant is being served and who will actually effect the arrest.
The warrant will remain 'active' until iit is either withdrawn or 'quashed' by the court, or the statute of limitations on the offense expires.
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.
It depends on what is stipulated in the warrant. You can ask to see the warrant and read it over carefully to understand what is allowed and what is not. Your best bet is contacting a criminal defense attorney.Added: The last sentence above is good advice - IFyou are looking for advice IN ADVANCE of the fact. At the time the police arrive to serve the warrant, they are NOT going to await the arrival of your attorney before they execute the warrant.
Generally speaking, not unless the warrant contained wording authorizing such a search.HOWEVER - if the officer entered your home to serve the warrant on you, he is entitled, to ensure his own safety, to search the immediate area around where you were found
Yes. The police can search any items if they have a warrant. It does not matter that no one is there to receive the warrant. The police only have to leave a copy of the warrant at the residence.
There is no statutory time limit on the service of a warrant. If the investiagtion is ongoing they may be holding off on it while they gather additional information on you or your contacts and crimes. OR - of course,. if you're avoiding the service of the warrant, you will not beat it by trying to outwait it.
Depends on what the warrant is for
