Search warrants or arrest warrants are issued by judges on the request of the police. If you (or your family) have been the victim of a crime, you should report it to the police. It will be their job to investigate and take appropriate measures, which may include arresting someone.
Individual citizens cannot submit requests for search warrants. ONLY law enforcement may do so. It must be based on articulable 'probable cause' and then reduced to writing on an affidavit (i.e.: sets forth the specific reason the warrant should be issued). The affidavit is submitted to a judge or magistrate for review, and if they agree, they sign it and a warrant is issued.

No, federal judges should not be able to create new laws since that's the job of the legislature. Judges should only interpret existing laws instead of trying to write them.
Unless they 'slip-up' when entering you into the state system to verify your ID, then you're out of luck. When they enter your name and DOB, you're going to show up.
