can a warrant be issued for non payment of car note
no
They would need a warrant or permission from the owner of the garage or of the car or both. They could claim there was a risk the car would be driven out of the jurisdiction if they had to wait for a warrant.
It depends on the wording of the specific warrant.
WHAT?!?!?! Is the car stolen? DO you have a warrent?
well, i have an open warrant in CA, but i have registered my car, gotten driver's licenses, etc. in both Indiana and Ohio with no problem.
Car dealers cannot issue arrest warrants only judges can do that. If there is an arrest warrant then you have broken some kind of law and the dealer has petitioned a judge or filed criminal charges and the police or marshalls office will carry out the warrant.
No, but you can turn yourself in and pay the bail. Exception: if the warrant is for failure to appear on a traffic offense, you can generally pay off the fines and the warrant will be recalled.
They can issue a warrant for a repo if they have gone to court and determined that you are trying to steal the car. They would have to file theft charges against you first.
I was told that if my daughter's car was set for repo, that she and I would have an arrest warrant filed against us because the car would be considered stolen property. This is in Delaware.
Yes they can search it
I think that would be rather difficult for you to search your car while in handcuffs. Now, can the police search your car while you are handcuffed? Sure if they have your permission or if they have a search warrant.
