A sealed warrant is a warrant that is sealed for the safety of the suspect. It cannot be viewed by the defense. The warrant will not be able to be viewed by the public for 180 days.
Does the word "sealed" have any meaning to you? You can't!
An arrest warrant might remain sealed if it mentions several names. If the police only know how to find one of the people mentioned they do not want to arrest him and let the rest disappear. They want to wait until they can arrest the entire group. When they know where they can get all the members of the group, they unseal the warrant and arrest the entire group.
If you commit a felony as an adult (age 18 or older), it will stay on your record forever and cannot be expunged. If you commit a felony as a juvenile (age 18 or younger), it will not appear on your adult record. However, juvenile records are not sealed and are still accesible by the law. ADDED: They are not sealed to law enforcement HOWEVER, they ARE sealed to the general public.
You can not put an adult in a juvenile facility! And in Florida, when you turn 18, you are considered an adult. Juvenile records are sealed. The juvenile warrant won't go away for 7 years. (Florida statute of limitations) However, a juvenile warrant will not become an adult warrant just because they child turns 18.
Although the internal policies of some departments may suggest that a copy of the warrant be left with the resident, this is mainly a public relations step rather than a legal requirement that one be produced before the search can be conducted.If the warrant was, in fact, "sealed" then there is no need to give a copy to the resident, regardless of anything else.If you were arrested and property was seized as a result of the service of a warrant, in order for it to be used in any subsequent court action, a legitimate copy of the warrant MUST be produced as part of the prosecution documents in order to present the evidence in court, otherwise it all becomes "fruit of the poisoned tree" and unuseable in the case.
God sealed it
It would depend on what the warrant is issued for, the severity of the crime and if you can be located for the warrant to be served. Also, would it serve the common good of the citizens if the money was spent to be extradited. You will have to face the warrant. Even if the statutes of limitations was up on the crime, the warrant never goes away.
Old or new, the warrant relates to an offense of some type and the offense is the ruling factor. NOT the age of the warrant.
First of all you must no your rights very well, the officer must first show his I.D card and badge to you at the gate of your house, and not inside your very own house , then the warrantmust always be opened and read to you , before he puts his legs inside your house. . A sealed warrant should mean nothing . It must always be opened and read clearly.
A search warrant could be faulty if it has wrong information on it. Then it would make the search warrant void. This can be the wrong name or a mistake on the address. If there is not a reasonable suspicion it could also be faulty.
Then the warrant is no good and any evidence obtained would be inadmissible.
