Best Answer

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.

Who is in charge of the arrest and custodial transportation of the suspect from the search warrant?

Any law enforcement agency can effect an arrest if they find out you have a warrant out for your arrest. The arresting agency would hold you and notify the location who issued the warrant of the arrest. At this point the agency who issued the warrant would make arrangements to collect the prisoner, take custody, and transport them back to the jurisdiction where the warrant was issued.


Whats the main differences between arrest with and without a warrant?

Without a warrant you must find reasonable grounds to arrest someone, whereas with a warrant your reason to arrest the suspect already exists. Without a warrant a Police Officer can arrest anyone without permission of a Magistrate as long as they follow the correct procedures so their arrest is lawful, which is unlike an arrest with a warrant where you must be granted the warrant to be able to arrest that person. Without a warrant, a Police Officer can mess the arrest up and make it an unlawful arrest but with a warrant it is very unlikely that they make it an unlawful arrest.


Will customs arrest you for a misdemeanor traffic warrant?

Before a Customs agent would make an arrest for a warrant of any type, the agent would have to believe the agency holding the warrant would come to the port of entry where the arrest was made to pick up the person with the warrant. If the agency is adjacent to the port of entry (e.g. a San Diego warrant in San Ysidro), this is likely. If the agency holding the warrant was distant to the port of entry, it's unlikely they will expend the time and money to fetch someone with a misdemeanor warrant.

In Texas can police enter a residence with misdemeanor arrest warrant when they are denied admission?

Police with an arrest warrant can enter the home of the person named in the warrant if they have reasonable grounds to believe he is on the premises. They can search the premises in any place the accused person would be able to hide (they couldn't for example, look in the drawers of a nightstand, because no one could hide there). Police have to get a search warrant to enter the house of a person other than the one named in the arrest warrant.
