Whether the person named in an arrest warrant is in jail or not is irrelevant. A warrant can be issued whenever the issuing court sees fit to sign it.
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.
Yes. A "white warrant" means a warrant issued for a parole/probation revocation.
The jail should book you on the warrant and complete the return of service to clear the warrant. You will have to answer the new warrant before release.
A sheriff's return on a bench warrant means that a return notice has been filed stating that a warrant was served. It also means that if the person is in jail at the time the warrant is served when they are released, they are to be transferred to the jail in the jurisdiction where the warrant was issued.
Sure! If you are already incarcerated and you have another warrant, then that warrant will be served to you while you're in jail. When you are finally about to be released from jail they will do another warrants check before they release you.
No. A warrant is not a "ticket" that you can out of by simply paying a fine. A warrant is issued for one purpose - to take you into custody - and bring you before the court.
A "bench warrant" is a warrant issued by a judge on his sole authority. Only the judge who issued the warrant can vacate the warrant. If he had to issue one to get you to court to testify, you probably won't be released until after your necessity in the court action is ended.
When you have served your period of incarceration in the first county, before they release you they should check to see if there are any other "criminal holds" on you. When they find the bench warrant they will hold you for the other county to come get you and return you to the court that issued the bench warrant.
When a person is being held in a county jail on warrant from another county, then a bail bond cannot be posted until that person has been transported to the county which issued the warrant.
Usually this means that you are being ordered to go to jail and serve some time, usually a specific amount of time. This type of warrant is issued to those who fail to appear in court for fulfillment of sentence or who fail to appear at jail to begin their sentence.
yes you can pay the fine in cash even if warrant has been issued for non payment of fines scottish law anyway
