Warrants

In all probability, YES. A violation of probation, regardless of the nature of the offense itself, often results in an interstate warrant being issued, and you will be extradited to the state that wants you. Can the probation officer do this himself? Not likely: a warrant has to be issued by the court that sentenced you for the VOP. Then the cops in the area to which you fled will pick you up and extradite you to the wanting state.

It is very hard to challenge the validity of a search warrant. When the cops come to your door with one, you need to let them do what they're supposed to do. Later you can challenge many aspects of the search warrant, such as them exceeding the scope of the warrant, their illegal petitioning for the warrant by stating facts that were untrue (perjury), or anything else of legal challenge value.

Apart from War Crimes involving all manner of incendiaries and bombs- whole cities reduced to ashes- of a more personal type of homicide the Saint Petersburg ( actually happened in Ekaterinberg- city of Catherine, in the summer of l9l8 in the USSR probably takes the Cake- Known Dead- Nicholas, Alexandra,- Olga, Tatiana, Maria, the Crown Prince Alexis- and various palace retainers, ladies in waiting, etc. confirmation of the death of the youngest Grand Duchess was never had- you know who I am speaking of. It was , for real the Crime of the Twentieth Century- quite different and personally targeting the royal Family- not a routine bombing raid or prison-camp atrocity- those are bad too, but.

1. The charges are read.

2. Last minute motions may be filed by the litigants or the judge's own motion.

3. The prosecutor makes an opening statement.

4. The defense attorney makes an opening statement but may delay until the defense case begins.

5. The prosecutor presents and direct examines the 1st witness.

6. The defense attorney cross examines the witness.

7. The prosecutor may redirect examine the witness about issues brought up in cross.

8. The defense may then recross on issues brought up on redirect.

(This goes back and forth till both sides have no more questions.)

(Witnesses may be asked to introduce exhibits.)

9. The prosecutor presents the next witness and 5 through 8 repeats.

10. When all prosecution witnesses are finished the defense will usually motion for a directed verdict, saying there is insufficient evidence for conviction--usually denied.

11. The defense puts on its case, repeating steps 5 through 9 but with the roles reversed.

12. The prosecutor may make a brief initial closing argument.

13. The defense makes its closing argument.

14. The prosecutor makes a final closing argument (unlike TV and movies, the prosecution goes last as it has the burden of proof).

15. The judge instructs the jury.

16. The jury deliberates.

17. The jury renders it verdict.

18. The verdict is read.

19. If a conviction, the sentence is delivered, or it may be postponed pending a pre-sentencing report, else the defendant is released if not convicted.

(During the trial either side may make motions or objections. There are often sidebars where the attorneys approach the bench and speak to the judge so the jury doesn't overhear. The jury is often sent out so things can be addressed without their overhearing.)

Unless they 'slip-up' when entering you into the state system to verify your ID, then you're out of luck. When they enter your name and DOB, you're going to show up. You should just surrender to the warrant and get it over with. It's going to catch up with you sooner or later anyway, probably when you least expect it and when you can least afford it.

The date that the prison has been told they will release the inmate. It is variable though, and can change based on new crimes being charged while incarcerated or a releasing authority changing the date. A projected release date is the first or next possible date of release in an indeterminant sentence. For instance: if offender Bob's sentence began on 1/1/09 and he received the indeterminant sentence of 3-15 years, his projected release date would be 1/1/12. As mentioned previously, a releasing authority such as a parole board or panel has the authority to change this date, usually extending it. A state's governor or the President may also change this date by commutting a sentence or issuing a pardon.

An inmate is given two release dates, ERD - Earliest Release date and Max Date - Max date. They will get out between this time. Usually the erd as long as they do not have any disciplinary problems. If they get into trouble time gets add, until their max date... Unless they commit felony's inside then that changes the release date completely.

No. You must surrender yourself to the state in which the warrant was issued.

The usual penalty is getting locked up - forthwith! The actual charge would probably be FTA (Failure To Appear).

Once a properly trained working K9 indicates something illegal on you or your property, that is considered probable cause.

It basically means that authorities are looking for the person named on the warrant. Answer It means that the police are out looking for the person and will arrest upon contact.

Your first step would be to check the local municipality or government where you believe the warrent may have been issued. For example, check with the County, City or State Government web site to see if they have an on-line warrant search. Many do, many do not. Otherwise you will have to use one of the pay-site, which I have NOT used, which I believe may be incomplete, since they would have to compile a database from the many different government websites. Since not all government municipalities have their data on-line, I don't know how it could ever be complete. Your best bet would be to contact a lawyer or the local government municipality, but I would do so over the phone. If you show up at the court house and you do have a warrant, you will most likely be arrested.

Yes and no. If the Police have a search warrant or your consent, they may search you. If they have neither and you're not under arrest, then no. This would be a 4th amendment violation and any evidence obtained through the illegal search would be suppressed. They may only search you incident to arrest, which means after they've verbally informed you that you're under arrest.

Absolutely ! If you know information about a crime - you can report it without identifying yourself.

I think warrants should not expire in Colorado so people can know what they did and pay for it

Answer:

No, once an arrest warrant is issued for a person, the police will look for that person until they arrest him or her.

A bench warrant is generally issued when a defendant fails to show up for court, or not paying a fine issued for a misdemeanor like a DUI or simple battery. So for the actual bench warrant, no you won't go to prison. You might just sit in county jail until your next court date so you can't skip out again, or until someone bails you out. The difference between jail and prison are important here. Jails are usually ran by county sheriff's departments whereas prisons are ran by the state or the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Sentences in jail cannot exceed 1 year and are they're generally populated by minor criminals serving time for assault, battery, a DUI, or some other misdemeanor (many prisoners in jail are there because their crime would normally get penalized with a fine and they are unable to pay). Prisons are for more major criminals; rapists, murderers, and other felonies.

Citizens Arrest ended in 1991.

mainly particularity, listing the place, the items sought, and the investigation and/or corroboration of said investigation. I find it odd that most folks are not aware of the doctrines of "independent source" and "inevitable discovery." These doctrines are two of the ways crooked law enforcement is enacted. The biggest loophole of all: the fact that there is no MANDATE that an affidavit be filed at any particular time, at least not in my state. I have searched diligently, and the issue seems to be conspicuously skirted. Think about it, a late affidavit is another form of the 2 doctrines I listed above. It is scary. And citizens wonder how people wind up in prison wrongfully!

Yes, you may be frisked or searched by an officer of either sex. They are searching you for weapons to protect themselves from harm or injury. IF an officer of your same sex is present on the scene then CUSTOMARILY the same sex officer will do the searching but there is no requirement in law that it MUST be done that way. On the other hand, for a full "custodial" search (as when being logged into a jail or other detention facility), full body and body cavity searches are usually reequired to be done by same sex officers.

ALL offenses are extraditable if the state wants you back badly enough. All US states and territories honor each other's requests for extradition - there are no 'safe-haven' states - it is impossible to state with certainty whether a particular state will choose to extradite you or not, there are simply too many variables. It may depend on the offense and the seriousness of it and/or how badly they want you returned - most states WILLextradite for felony offenses.

You can, but it is likely that you will be arrested when you appear.

Depending on HOW serious the warrant is. If it is a Felony, it is harboring a fugitive, if it is a misdemeanor depending on the offense, you should STILL turn that person in. If it is a traffic warrant, nothing can happen to you. It is up to that person to handle that situation.

If you are located in an adjoining state, it is possible. All US states and territories honor each other's requests for extradition - there are no 'safe-haven' states - It is impossible to know with certainty whether a particular state will choose to extradite you for a particular offense, or not, there are simply too many variables. It may depend, in part, on the offense and the seriousness of it, and/or how badly they want you returned - most states WILL extradite for felony offenses and crimes of violence.

You become a fugitive from justice, and a warrant is issued for your arrest. Depending on the crime, bounty hunters may come after you... and law enforcement agencies are duty-bound to bring you in if they find you, in any case.

A search warrant is NOT necessarily an arrest warrant. If some other violation comes to light during the search that supports your arrest, yes, you could be arrested, even if nothing was found during the search.
