Your turning yourself in on a warrant has only a slight impact on what your sentence is. Factors such as the severity of the crime, it's possible punishment, whether you are eligible for probation or alternative sentencing, it's impact on the victim (such as whether death, injury, or property damage occurred and to what extent of property damage occurred, whether the victim was a member of a certain categorized group (such as a law-enforcement officer, elderly, pregnant woman, or disabled, etc.), and other factors including, but not limiting to, if this crime was gang-related or if a firearm was used, have a higher impact on your case than if you turned yourself in. In many courts you may be sentenced for a crime and allowed so many days to turn yourself into the court or the sheriff to begin your sentence. Quite often the judge will sentence you to a harsh term, such as, let's say, five years. Then the judge will offer you a reduced (called mitigated) sentence if you turn yourself into the court on the date and time specified, in this case, about 18 months to maybe two years.

What if the search warrant is not executed in 10 days?

Although an "open" serve would be unusual, unless the service time of the warrant was specifically time limited, there is no requirement that a warrant be acted upon within so many days of issuance. Sometimes, situations and events must coincide in order for the warrant to be served and obtain effective results.


An arrest warrant must be served within how many days of it's issuance?

an arrest warrant must be served within 30 days of the missed time of the appointed court date, but it depends on the charge and how many warrants you have in the system. The warrant is in effect when you do not make another appointment within the 30 days or turn yourself into the local police station, if not stay on the move. Do the right thing.

If you have a warrant and your in prison will they serve you while in the prison or wait til your released?

Well, honey, if you've got a warrant and you're already in prison, they're not gonna serve you with another one like it's a game of tag. They'll just keep you locked up until your sentence is done, and then you can deal with the new warrant once you're out. It's not like they're gonna let you go just to serve you and then bring you back - that's not how the justice system works, sweetie.
