An arrest warrant can be issued for something such as an FTA (failure to appear in court), a criminal arrest warrant is issued for an individual who has been charged with a criminal offense, even so they are both basically the same.
You can get bail only if you have been arrested and arraigned or the judge who issued the arrest warrant set bail when the warrant was issued (however, arrest is still a prerequisite for making bail).
Generally you can't check a database to see if someone has an arrest warrant active: you can only do this for yourself, and must call the Warrants bureau of the Sheriff's Office of the jurisdiction you think the warrant has been issued from. In Florida, if you have a felony warrant issued against you then you may be able to check a database at http://pas.fdle.state.fl.us/pas/pashome.a, a database of wanted and missing persons.
A warrant is a judicial order for an arrest. If the warrant was still valid, the law enforcement officer has no choice but to make an arrest.
If you have been charged with a crime, and are not in custody yet, or have failed to appear in court to answer the charge, a criminal arrest warrant will be issued.
Call your parole agent!
A police officer must have probable cause in order to arrest someone. They can arrest a person if they see a crime taking place or if an arrest warrant has been issued.
Yes, an arrest warrant allows them to enter only your registered address to seize you. You do not have to be tried to be arrested.
Yes you can; it is usually enough to have an arrest warrant issued to be extradited.
Such things are not usually in the public domain. However you will know when the police come to arrest you.
A warrant gives the police the right to arrest you at any time - that's what a warrant is. So it does not matter if you do or don't turn yourself in, the police have the right to arrest you if they have a warrant.
Generally, warrants are drafted by the prosecuting attorney's office, provided to a judge for review and approval. They contain identifying information regarding the wanted person, the jurisdiction issuing the warrant, the geographic locations that the warrant is issued for, and bail bond amount if any.
