Why would there be a warrant for an arrest if the case is closed?

Define "closed." Is the original police criminal investigation "closed" or is the actual court case itself closed? As long as there are outstanding and un-addressed matters or un-prosecuted defendants, a court case is never closed until all known defendants in the case have been prosecuted. .

Does a bench warrant turn into an arrest warrant after a length of time?
A bench warrant is a warrant for the arrest/apprehension of the person named. It is referred to as a "bench warrant" because the judge presiding over the case in which the individual is involved is the one who issues the warrant.

What case you we can file for the police he arrest a person without warrant?
Police do not necessarily need a warrant to arrest someone. Basically an arrest means that they have strong reason to believe that someone has broken the law. A warrant allows them to arrest the person on sight even if they are doing nothing wrong at the time. If you feel like the arrest is unjust your best option is to get an attorney.

Can a payday loan company issue a warrant for your arrest for defaulting on a loan?
No. Only the court (Judges) may issue a warrant for someone's arrest. No lender may have you arrested for not paying a loan, however, if you don't show up to court (or have legal representation at court), the judge may issue a bench warrant for your arrest (with the intention of getting you in front of the court, not to put you in jail). If the default, however, is subsequently believed to be a result of fraud, the judge may pass the particulars of the case to a prosecutor who will likely request a warrant for your arrest. In this case, the warrant is meant to hold you for trial in criminal court.
When does a Missouri bench warrant expire?
NEVER, as is the case for any warrant. NEVER is not the case for all bench warrants and its certainly not the case for all arrest warrants..... A Bench warrant will stay active till you are either brought before the court,the court drops the warrant itself, you die or you do some legal action to resolve the warrant. In some city courts, bench warrants for traffic tickets and unpaid fines are sometimes cleared after a number of years but that is a city by city issue. There are statute of limitations set on arrest warrants(meaning you committed a crime but have not been arrested by the police) that vary from state to state and once the statute of limitations is reached for that specific crime you can not be prosecuted for that crime and the arrest warrant becomes void,such as an arrest warrant issed in the state of Maryland in 1956 for a person who committed petty theft would no longer be valid in 2012 because the states statute of limitaions on the crime of petty theft is only 20 years..
Do police have to show you the search warrant prior to breaking down your door?
No they do not. If they have a signed search warrant they are allowed to enter without notice. They are only required to show you the warrant upon your request to see it. If they do not allow you to see the warrant, this could potentially invalidate the search and make any evidence found against you during the search inadmissible.Added: While the above may be true in the specific case of the service of search warraants, it is NOT so in the case of the service of an arrest warrant. Mere knowledge of the existence of an arrest warrant for an individual is sufficient to take that person into custody. The arrestee need not be shown the actual warrant at the time of arrest.
