Not automatically. A Motion to Recall Warrant can be heard in court, but only if a bench warrant was issued, not an arrest warrant on a new charge.

Yes, a warrant can be lifted if it is no longer necessary or if the judge decides there are legal reasons to do so, such as a change in circumstances or new evidence. Law enforcement agencies can also lift a warrant if they determine it is no longer needed.

How do you get an 8 year old misdemeanor marijuana warrant dismissed in AZ?

To get an 8-year-old misdemeanor marijuana warrant dismissed in Arizona, you would typically need to consult with a criminal defense attorney. They can help you navigate the legal process, potentially file a motion to dismiss, or negotiate with the prosecutor to have the warrant lifted. It's important to address the warrant promptly to avoid any potential legal consequences.


What does warrant returned mean?

"Warrant returned" typically means that the court has received back a warrant that was issued, indicating that the subject of the warrant has been located and either arrested or otherwise brought before the court.


If you have a warrant in one state and turn yourself in in another state what is the time frame the state with the warrant has to respond to that warrant?

There is no set time frame for the state with the warrant to respond, as it can vary depending on factors such as workload and priorities of law enforcement in that state. It is recommended to contact legal counsel or the authorities in the state where the warrant was issued for more specific information.


Will you be notified of a warrant?

No, individuals are typically not notified directly about the issuance of a warrant. Law enforcement may attempt to apprehend you if you have an outstanding warrant, but there is no direct notification process. It is advisable to address any legal issues promptly to avoid complications.


I know someone that has a warrant and want to turn her into the police what do i do?

The easiest thing to do is to call the law enforcement agency with jurisdiction in your location and let them know that you have information concerning the whereabouts of an individual with an outstanding warrant. They will ascertain information concerning their location, last time they were seen there, possible vehicle information, etc. Also, depending on what the warrant is for, you might just inform the wanted person that they have a warrant and see if they will take the proper steps to either turn himself in or clear up the warrant. If the warrant is a simple one for traffic offenses, it is highly likely that they will be able to pay the fine and then the warrant will be destroyed. On the other hand, if the warrant is for something more serious then you need to consider your options because if it is proven that you have knowledge of where the wanted person is, yet you do nothing about it....then the police could potentially come after you for aiding a fugitive...etc..etc...etc.
