Short answer: A peace officer in California can submit an arrest warrant affidavit of probable cause to a judge without a corresponding criminal filing with the court by the district attorney. The purpose of the few that I dealt with was to facilitate entering a guy's house and arresting him on felony PC. Aside from the hard copy signed by the judge, there is no other record, so you can't get an abstract...at least that was the case when I was working. I've been retired for 10 years now.
