Warrants

you can by making phone calls to different law enforcement agencies but not by the internet.

Answer:

There is no need to pay for information that is public records. Many people that are caught up in legal issues, tend to think that if they try to look into whether or not they have a warrant issued for them, they might forfeit their freedom. This is not the case. Of course, if you are wanted for murder or other heinous crimes, all bets are off! But for lesser charges, felonious or not, there are several ways to find out this type of information, with out worrying about getting picked up.

1. Contact the County Clerk of the suspected warrant. They will provide the information you need with a name and date of birth. They will not turn on a "phone tracer" on you. The information is public, and your call can remain anonymous.
2. Many criminal attorneys, upon your consultation, (most are free for the first time) will check on the status of any cases/warrants/charges filed against you before they consider taking your case, and will inform you as to the charges and warrant status. As attorneys, they are subject to the client/attorney privilege even if you don't hire them, so they can't turn you in.
3. Some State Police departments (IE: DPS, State troopers, local police, Sheriffs departments) are the proprietors of this information. Many will provide the information. There are some that have strict policies that require the person to be present during the inquiry. Send a relative or friend to obtain the info for you.

All the items listed are free. Again, there is no need to pay a website to get this info for you. Try these areas of search in the order presented. As a point of information, when at all possible, self-surrender should be the first thing an honest person would do. Warrants never expire, no matter what the cause, no matter what the statute of limitations are on the crime, they never expire. A routine background check for employment, a traffic stop, (with in the state of the warrant) a federal background check, and in some states, the DMV, can uncover a warrant in another city, county or state.

As a general rule, they can enter the fugitive's property, but not anyone else's.

They must be physically aware, by sight or sound, that the fugitive is within the home, and that entering the home will not endanger anyone inside.

When someone accepts bail, they essentially form a contract in which they surrender several legal rights in return for being let out. Part of this agreement allows a bounty hunter to enter your property to re-arrest you if you attempt to escape.

They do not, however, have the right to enter a third party's residence without permission, even if the fugitive is inside. The third party hasn't signed any agreement with the state, so bounty hunters have no special rights when dealing with them.

------------------------------------------

It depends on the state. In Texas they cannot enter without permission.

Sec. 1702.3867. EXECUTION OF CAPIAS OR ARREST WARRANT; OFFENSE.

(a) A private investigator executing a capias or an arrest warrant on behalf of a bail bond surety may not:

(1) enter a residence without the consent of the occupants;

(2) execute the capias or warrant without written authorization from the surety;

(3) wear, carry, or display any uniform, badge, shield, or other insignia or emblem that implies that the private investigator is an employee, officer, or agent of the federal government, the state, or a political subdivision of the state;

If you press charges against someone, and if in the process the police discover that you have a warrant for your arrest that remains outstanding, they have a duty to arrest you. Whether they will necessarily check you out to see if you have a warrant for your arrest is another matter. That does not always happen as a matter of course. However, there is always the risk that they will do so and you would typically be arrested on the spot.

Added; In most professionally administered law enforcement agencies it is standard practice to "run" the names of EVERYONE involved in a case through a criminal history computer check.

The home is the most protected place under the Fourth Amendment. The justification of the search of a home is examined very closely by courts.

The police can search a private home when:

• the homeowner or other responsible person gives consent to do so,
• the police have obtained a search warrant based on probable cause, sworn before a judge, and describing specifically the premises to be searched and the evidence the police are seeking,
• an arrest is made within the home, providing that this search is limited to the immediate area occupied by the person arrested,
• exigent circumstances occur.

A "responsible person" is one who normally has control of the premises and can grant permission for people to enter or require them to leave. A boarder who has the run of the house might be a "responsible person," but a young child probably would not be.

"Exigent circumstances" are unusual or emergency situations where the police must act in the interest of public safety or the preservation of life. For instance, if you were at the front door denying entry to a police officer, and a person called for help from within the house, the officer could enter to give aid. Once the person had been rescued or the emergency was otherwise over, the police could not search further. If the police had seen something during the entry that indicated further evidence of a crime is present, they can remain on the premises to preserve the evidence until,a search warrant is obtained, or a judge rejects the application for a warrant.

For civil contempt, usually a monetary fine, although a judge can place the individual in jail for a certain period for wanton conetempt.

For criminal contempt, jail and/or a monetary fine.

Search warrants are required under the protections of the Fourth Amendment. For a search warrant to be obtained by the police there must be:

Sufficient reasons for the search: A warrant may not be issued unless there is sufficient evidence, reason or rationale for the search. Search warrants may not be issued randomly.

Stated object of the search: A search warrant must specifically declare what the police are looking for.

Location of the search: Search warrants must specify the areas to be searched. For example, a search warrant may include an individual's house, but a separate warrant may be needed to search the same person's garage.
