You don't have a legal obligation to turn someone in, even if you know they have a warrant for their arrest. However, if you allow that person to live with you and purposely hide them from the police, you can be arrested for harboring a fugitive.
Probably the FBI.
Turn yourself in. If the warrant is not still outstanding, walk away.
If there is a warrant out for you and the police know where you are, they can arrest you.
A warrant is a demand issued by a court. An example is; an arrest warrant is a demand for someone's arrest. A foreign warrant is issued for someone in another country.
If you are a private citizen. -You cannot serve an arrest warrant. But if you know the whereabouts of someone that you know is wanted. Simple contact the local authorities. and provide them with the details.
Depending on HOW serious the warrant is. If it is a Felony, it is harboring a fugitive, if it is a misdemeanor depending on the offense, you should STILL turn that person in. If it is a traffic warrant, nothing can happen to you. It is up to that person to handle that situation.
Warrants don't "turn into" something different. When a warrant is issued it is either issued for a misdemeanor or a felony offense. It doesn't change.
The easiest thing to do is to call the law enforcement agency with jurisdiction in your location and let them know that you have information concerning the whereabouts of an individual with an outstanding warrant. They will ascertain information concerning their location, last time they were seen there, possible vehicle information, etc. Also, depending on what the warrant is for, you might just inform the wanted person that they have a warrant and see if they will take the proper steps to either turn himself in or clear up the warrant. If the warrant is a simple one for traffic offenses, it is highly likely that they will be able to pay the fine and then the warrant will be destroyed. On the other hand, if the warrant is for something more serious then you need to consider your options because if it is proven that you have knowledge of where the wanted person is, yet you do nothing about it....then the police could potentially come after you for aiding a fugitive...etc..etc...etc.
well wouldn't you like to know.
No, but you can turn yourself in and pay the bail. Exception: if the warrant is for failure to appear on a traffic offense, you can generally pay off the fines and the warrant will be recalled.
turn yourself in.
No. A warrant is issued by a magistrate or judge.
