Is each state different when it come to warrant?

(in the US) There is no material difference in warrants issued by the judicial officers of the various states. Arrest warrants are issued for (usually) the purpose of authorizing law enforcement to make a "bodily attachment" (i.e.: arrest) of the subject named in the warrant, to compel their appearance before a judcial hearing. Warrants are not issued for civil law hearings. Warrants for other matters (i.e.: search/seizure warrants, etc.) fall into the same general description - in that they authorize law enforcement to take an action that has been pre-approved and authorized by a judicial officer PRIOR to their taking the action.


If a warrant is issued by the police why wouldn't someone get arrested?

Warrants are NOT issued by the police. Warrants are issued by the court - they are then given to the police to carry out. The police operate on PROBABLE CAUSE, and if you know that they want someone, perhaps they do not have sufficient probable cause for an arrest or, perhaps, they may not have been able to locate the individual.
