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.
Can a resisting arrest occur AFTER the arrest has been made?
Yes, if you try to get away after the arrest has been made, you can get charged with resisting arrest.
What does it mean when an officer is holding a warrant for your arrest?
It means exactly what it says. A warrant for your arrest has been issued by a judge and it has been assigned to an officer to serve on you and take you into custody. If you have knowledge that the ploice ARE holding a warrant for you, it is probably a good idea if you voluntarily turned yourself in. It looks 'better' to the court, if you do.
