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.
Yes, they may accompany officers of the jurisdiction in which the warrant is being served and who will actually effect the arrest.
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
No, if law enforcement officers reasonably believe that a valid warrant has been issued, the officers may begin the search. The warrant does not have to be with them, and the warrant does not have to be given to the owner.
It is supposed to foster and lead towards better relations between the communities they serve and the department and the officers which serve them.
Yes and no. If the Police have a search warrant or your consent, they may search you. If they have neither and you're not under arrest, then no. This would be a 4th amendment violation and any evidence obtained through the illegal search would be suppressed. They may only search you incident to arrest, which means after they've verbally informed you that you're under arrest.
No. You can be present in the house, but you cannot follow them around as they conduct their activities. As a matter of fact, you don't even have to be home when they serve the warrant.
Most detention officers have peace officer powers while they are on duty. If the detention officer was on duty, he could serve an arrest 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.
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.
As often as they want until the warrant is taken care of.
