Warrants

Simple, Walk into your local police department and ask! Or, if you wish to remain free, and don't want to take any chances, call the County Clerk's office of the jurisdiction, and ask them. They will tell you if there is a warrant, and who to contact to resolve the issues. You could also ask an attorney to check for you. Most will look into the case with out requiring a fee, and will tell you if they can help you.

Yes, you can fly in without incident. A bench warrant will give you real legal problems if you get pulled over for a traffic stop or some such thing. And in that case, it's up to the officer whether or not you're taken to task on it.

The court can file a violation of probation and revoke your probation, then issue a warrant for your arrest. Most states will extradite you for a misdemeanor anywhere within that state, but maybe not in another state. Then again, they might extradite you from another state.

100% yes and they will put you in jail for it unless you have a very good reason they will also bring you back from anywhere

Warrants don't expire because they are issued by the court and only the

court can cancel them.

NO NO, but if they do have probable cause, they'll kick the door in. Probable cause does not always involve a piece of paper.............like a warrant. If you lock the door, after they speak to you, you can be charged with obstructing and delaying, if they had probable cause.

Unfortunately there is NO statue of limitations on a Warrant. I think you have this mixed up with a Statute of Limitation on the actual Crime you were placed on probation for.

yes they do check you.

Typically, as part of the arrest process, there is a search. However, depending upon the circumstances, the search may take place before the arrest, or you may be under arrest and the search can take place after.

(Answer is applicable to the USA only): A warrantless arrest is never served. A warrantless arrest is performed. Following the warrantless arrest, the arresting individual (typically) or authority is required (usually) to provide the courts with a warrantless arrest affidavit wherein the person making the arrest articulates the probable cause for the arrest, which then is submitted to a judge for review. The arrested person will already be in jail or otherwise in custody (and possibly even bonded out), before the signed warrantless arrest affidavit becomes available to the arrested person.

You can respect the law by following it. You can also respect the people who are enforcers of the law, such as the police. They work hard to keep us safe from people who could care less about the rules that society has put in place for every ones benefit.

"court of final appeal" is a generic term that refers to the highest court whcih has jurisdiction of a particular matter. In criminal law and some civil law, this could be the US Supreme Court, or a State Supreme Court depending on the matter at hand. In most persoanl Civil cases this could be a state Superior Court, or a State Court. I am in Georgia, and for instance a small claims civil suit (under 14,000.00) may be filed in Magistrate Court, and is not appealable. Therefore it is the Court of Final Appeal in regard to a civil small claims case. The specific definition depends on the context of the term.

That is determined by the judge and the laws of the state in which the offense occurred. Contributing factors for sentencing might be, the age of the accused, the criminal charge, whether or not the individual has a prior criminal history.

It was the 4th Amendment

Last time I quashed a warrant, I had to go to the circuit clerk. There, they took my information and I was assigned a new court date for the following week.

Where as I appreciate going in and talking to the clerk, it is easier and less worrisome to just call in and set the date. Which in my case was a week later.

"Absconding" is fleeing to avoid the jurisdiction of law enforcement or the courts. You become a fugitive. Being a fugitive brings an additional charge on top of whatever charge you were wanted for in the first place.

When a wanted individual is known to police, but their true name/identity is unknown, the judge can issue a "John Doe" warrant to take them into custody, at which time there true identity will become known.

PT warrant is a warrant issued for production of an Accused. P.T. warrant means Prisoner's Transit Warrant.

Difficult to tell... depends entirely on the type of case. If they want you off the street right away it will be sooner rather than later. If it was a "secret" indictment they may follow you around for weeks or months finding out who it is that you are associating with.

A blue warrant is a violation of probation/parole

Yes you can... Warrants do not show up on background checks-only things you have been convicted for. I had an arrest warrant for 6 months that I didn't know about and still got a job within that time. Now if they figure out where you work, they will come n snatch you up there-be careful!!

A search warrant is a court ordering allowing law enforcement officers to search a specific place for specific evidence or contraband.

If you have a warrant for your arrest, you can try to renew your driver's license but you will be turning yourself in for the warrant. All warrants must be cleared or they will be flagged by the driver's license system which is attached to your social security number.

If you are being held for the delivery and service of a warrant, there is no statutory time limit on this. Only when you are returned to the jurisdiction that wants you will your "speedy trial" rights begin. Too bad and shame on you, that's what you get for running.

I am not a lawyer, however, I do have a fairly extensive knowledge of the law. I don't believe that the court system communicates with DMV as to who has warrants and who doesn't. The only way DMV would know about your warrant would be if it had something to do with a motor vehicle. Even if it does, I have never seen anyone arrested in a DMV office, I believe the DMV does their job and lets the officers do theirs, and I don't believe DMV personel have the authority to arrest people. You can buy a copy of DMV laws, rules and regulations from your local DMV. Last year, it was either 3 or 5 dollars. It might help you to get a copy of the DMV Laws in California, I buy one every year, so I know what I can and can't do, what officers can and can't do, and what other drivers can and can't do. Even at 5.00, this book is a bargain!! Saved me a bunch for sure! Hope this helps. * It is likely the DMV would have notification of an active warrant and the renewal of the license would be denied. CA. Penal Code 1214.1...(paraphrased) ..'the court may impose a hold on driving privileges and/or registration of any person who fails to appear in court for any proceeding authorized by law....'
