Are US warrants valid in Mexico?

Is a warrant valid if your at another address than your mailing address?
An arrest warrant doesn't care where it is served, the address is not important.
A search warrant is valid for the address or premise listed in the warrant. Whether it is your address or not will not change the validity of the warrant.
Can police search car if you say no?
Yes an officer can still search your car. The officer could claim there is probable cause to search your car, because you just denied the search, which the officer would say, looks like a sign of guilt.
Another View: NOT exactly! If you do not voluntarily consent to a vehicle search, the officer can still partially search it, but he MUST confine his search to the immediate area around, and within the reach of, the driver.
To carry the search any further he could call for a drug dog or need some probable cause to place you under arrest and impound your car. Of course if he observes anything suspicious while within the car (the butt of a gun - 'roaches' in the ash tray - drugs, pills, or other contraband on the floor mats, etc. then you're pretty much 'toast.'

How long do they have to issue a warrant after drug raid?
The question states "anonymous tip." Unless the informant is already a "proven" source, an investigation, possibly involving the infiltration of undercover personnel into the location, will have to be made. The police MUST be able to show "probable cause to believe" that an actual drug operation is being conducted there, and an "anonymous" tip made by a person of unknown reliability is NOT sufficient cause to request a warrant.
THEREFORE: The answer to the question is unknowable - it may take time for the investigation and evidence-gathering to take place.

Can the police or tow companies impound a vehicle from private property in California?
They may not unless strict requirements by law are met. Laws regarding authority to cause the towing and storage of a vehicle differ among the states. Generally speaking, and I'm paraphrasing, a person, agency, or company must have and be able to show authority and reason to tow a vehicle from anywhere in order to legally do so.
The authority of police or tow companies to tow and store a vehicle must come from a Judge, the vehicle owner, or property owner unless it is stolen, blocking the entrance or exit to public parking, or is located within 15 feet of a fire hydrant. Briefly, officers of the CHP, local police, and sheriff departments receive due authority from the state, city, or county agencies respectively to operate within the territorial boundaries owned or controlled by the respective government authorities; however, jurisdiction may overlap in accordance with intergovernmental agency contracts. This authority does extend to or include off highway property, such as property belonging to a business or private citizen. Private property is any property not owned or leased by the state, city or county government. Authority to tow from private property must come from the vehicle or private property owner in the form of a written request or from a judge signed warrant to seize stated vehicle. A state vehicle or civil code number does not represent authority.
Without the vehicle owner's permission, a towing company may not tow from private property without written authorization from the private property owner or lessee and with that person present at the time of the tow to verify the reason for the tow. See CVC-22658(l)(1)(A) Any tow company that tows a vehicle without such authorization or fails to present a photocopy of this authorization to the vehicle owner at the time of paying for towing and storage fees (CVC-22658(l)(1)(C)) is liable to the vehicle owner for 4 times the towing and storage fees charged. See CVC-22658(l)(4)&(5). The same is true if the tow company fails to obviously post their top fee rates or that they accept payments with a credit card (CVC-22658(k)(2)) where payments are received, or if they charge an excessive amount. See CVC-22658(j)(2)
Applicable vehicle codes must comply with other vehicles codes that are stated to apply to other vehicle codes, such as is stated in CVC-22658(p), to be legally enforced except when the enforced vehicle code states otherwise. For example, CVC-22651 or the codes it lists under 22651(p) do not stand alone and are legally enforceable only when in compliance with other codes such as CVC-22658.

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.
If police enter your home with a search warrant why would they then ask for consent to search?
If their search is conducted completely in conformance to the wording of the warrant they can only search for and seize what the warrant allows AND anything else which lies IN PLAIN SIGHT. If they obtain your consent to conduct a search, they may search ANYWHERE and seize ANYTHING they find that is of an unlawful, or illegal nature.
How do I file a pro se answer to a lawsuit?
An answer (defense) would be whatever proof the defendant has that the lawsuit is not valid. The response to the summons is not the venue for explaining the defendant's personal situation, such as job loss, illness and so forth. Unfortunately the law does not consider such circumstances as being a valid defense for not paying a debt. In most states failure to respond means the defendant will lose the case by default and the plaintiff will in all likelihood be awarded a judgment for the amount of debt or damages plus legal costs and applicable penalties. You may file an answer by copying the case caption to your own paper, that is the part at the top that says wht court it is in, who the plaitniff and defendant are, and the C.A. number assigned by the court, if there is one on your complaint. Then, simply go down the numbered paragraphs in the complaint, and either admit what the sentence or paragraph says, deny what it says, or say you are without sufficient knowledge to admit or deny the paragraph. You must respond to each individually numbered paragraph in the complaint in one of those three ways. That's it. BUT, be careful because certain defenses must be raised in the answer or else they are waived and lost. The most important ones are statute of limitations, and failure of service of the complaint on you. There are other defenses as well that must be raised, but these are of the most important. You shoudl try to take the answer to the court house and ask for the clerk or prothonotary, and tell them you want to file the answer and they can help you. check with the bar association, there are always lawyers who will do these things for free.
What kind of warrant? Traffic offense? Felony crime? It may depend on what turns up when they do your background check.
A misdemeanor offense will probably not affect your application. HOWEVER - these things take on a life of their own and it would be best if you just faced it and took care of it. Murphy's Law is always in effect and just when you least expect it - it's gonna jump out and bite you.
I think you may be confusing "having evidence" with the word "allegation." Whatever 'evidence' you think you may have, it will have to be investigated to determine if, in fact, an offense was committed. Neither the prosecutor NOR the judge are law enforcement officers and do not investigate allegations of wrongdoing. Your attorney would be far better off presenting the evidence of the officers alleged wrongdoing to his department superiors or to the State Attorney General's Office. Look at it this way - if it is eventually proven that the officer HAS committed perjury, and it was instrumental in your conviction, you will win a new trial.
What is the charges for assaulting a minor?
You could be charged with multiple offenses depending on many factors such as location, time, age, on top of the initial reason for being around the police. Firstly, just judging the question you COULD be charged with Disturbing the Peace, Curfew Violation, Battery on a Police Officer, Resisting Arrest By Violence, Simple Assault, etc, etc. The list could go on and on depending on multiple factors including location of arrest and how well the officer knows his job. The first step is a minor should not be under the influence. Secondly, a parent should be available. Third, if a minor is assaulting a police officer the minor should serve the maximum days in a juvenile detention center (all depending on local and state).
