By "mile limit" I'm guessing that you mean if you get far enough away you won't be arrested. If that is the case, it won't work. If the felony offenses are sufficient for the authorities in Elgin to want you badly enough to prosecute you they will enter the warrants into the state (and maybe national) law enforcement computer system.
Can a warrant be in county only?
If issued by a state court, a warrant would be good throughout your entire state - AND - throughout the country if the state chose to place it in the interstate system.
What is meant by failure to appear to show cause?
It means the person who filed the motion did not appear at the hearing to prove their charges/case, and therefore the motion was dismissed either with or without prejudice.
How do you know if you have a warrant for not reporting to your parole?
When you do report to your parole officer, he'll arrest you.
...Go in...You have nothing to worry about. You may want an attorney to accompany you, but they will not arrest you unless they have reasonable proof that it was you. Simply state that it wasn't you, have the attorney there to drive it home for you and that's it.
Can other states know if i have an outstanding warrant?
Yes if you get pulled over and have the same drivers lisenced that you did when the warrent when out for you in the first place it would show up to the officer stopping or arresting you after putting your ID number in. If you tried to get a new lisence in another state the D.O.T Department of transprotation would then know as well because either way that number would follow you around.
So you should get that warrant fixed.
What are the implications for letting someone stay with you that you know has multiple felonies?
If you are hiding the person from law enforcement, you could be held as an accessory after the fact. You could also be charged with obstruction of justice, hindering an investigation, harboring a fugitive, etc.
If you are hiding the person from the bail bondsman, ouch. You face all the criminal problems plus the wrath of the bondsman, and they can be a bit annoying when they don't appreciate your behavior.
If you are letting someone stay with you who has committed crimes that are, as yet, undiscovered or have not been associated with that person, you could still end up being an accessory.
If you are letting someone on parole or probation stay with you, the major risk is that the person will re-offend. If you are allowing a dangerous person to stay near vulnerable people, you could wind up with civil penalties. You would need to talk to the parole officer directly to discuss the implications of having the person stay with you.
If the person is continuing with their criminal activities and is under surveillance you may find your home the subject of a search warrant with the police rummaging through your possessions looking for evidence.
The person may have enemies, or visitors, that risk your home being visited by people you don't normally associate with.
No. Each state has its own laws, and nothing can happen if you are in a different state.
Another View: NOT EXACTLY. It depends on what type of offense you are wanted for and whether MN put the warrant into the interstate criminal computer system (NCIC) - and whether IA routinely runs your name through their state criminal computer when you apply for a license. If MN will extradite you back for prosecution, IA will hold you for them based on the interstate warrant.
How long will someone go to jail if they have a warrant for there arest over a traffic vialation?
For as long as the judge may sentence you for that particular offense, - plus - any time added on for failing to appear to answer the court summons in the first place.
How did Boyd v US affect the exclusionary rule?
Boyd v. United States, 116 US 616 (1886), was a decision by the US Supreme Court, which held that "a search and seizure [was] equivalent [to] a compulsory production of a man's private papers" and that the search was "an 'unreasonable search and seizure' within the meaning of the Fourth Amendment."
Briefly: A search and seizure warrant was issued requiring the defendant (Boyd) to produce certain private papers so that the governmnent could prove that he had avoided paying import tax.
The Supreme Court ruled that there need not be a physical invasion of one's home to constitute a violation of the Fourth Amendment protection against unreasonable search and seizure. The Fourth Amendment of the Constitution protects against the invasion into a person's private matters. This extends to the compulsory production of a person's papers and, in the case at point, would have amounted to forcing Boyd to "testify" against himself by having to produce his own private papers.
How can a state hold you in another state jail if there laws plainly say no extradition?
If it's a US state, then the laws are clear, as outlined in the Interstate Rendition Clause, one state MUST imprison and extradite a felon to the state in which he committed a crime, on request from that state.
The law you might be thinking of is extradition to a foreign country, as foreign relations would be handled on a federal level rather than dealing with the state itself.
How long can police hold you for missing court as a witness but have a doctors letter?
Generally you would be held until a judge ordered your release.
It is not something that the police control. It is entirely up to the judge.
No. The officer would have to have other reasons than a revoked consent. Revoking a consent does not lead to the officer having a 51%/ more likely than not justification that there is evidence of a crime. There has to be other factors that play into it. And even if he does have probable cause he would need to get the warrant and then continue the seach.
What does it mean when the case status read CLosed?
Are we speaking of a court case or a police investigation? Usually it means that the case is: over - finished - done - concluded, or in the case of a court action, the final ruling has been made.
Can a ex felon with miner drug charges be a cop?
It is very unlikely. Most agencies would not consider a convicted felon for any position.
I believe that our state should enforce it and take it seriously because it is such an invasion of personal space . Cyber trespass for those who are familar with the prying bathrooms against consent.
Is there a distinction between the search of a premises and the search of a person?
A "premises" refers to a place, not a human being. Usually it is used to refer to the location used by a specific person who is suspected of committing a crime. It refers to a specific place identified by address ... example: "the premises at 49 Main Street, Anywhere, Some County, A State" ... which can be anything, a store, house, business place, etc. The search of the premises is the physical location, and it MAY include the humans there.
If there is a search of a person, it is a specified individual human, identified by a name.
A search warrant can be issued for a particular premises and include the humans on that premises if the humans are specifically included in the warrant. Otherwise, the officers administering the search warrant for the premises may not search any persons on the premises unless they believe a crime is in the act of being committed. A search of an alleged "drug house" can include the humans there on the suspicion that the humans are there to use, sell or buy illegal drugs - which would qualify as a "crime in progress" by the person who had the drugs on their person.
Dear Fugitive;
I do not know the letter of the law in Arizona. However "statue of limitations" applies to the amount of time between a crime and the subsequent filing of charges in court.
If you were on parole, you were already charged and found guilty.
If you are on the run from the police, it does not matter that you have eluded them for a long time. The cops don't have a limit on the amount of time they have to find you. You can still be arrested 30 years from now when you're 82, or whatever.
Also, if there is a parole warrant on you, you are not "on parole" you are a fugitive.
What I mean is: if they catch you and for some crazy reason they don't send you to prison, you still have to finish serving your parole time. The time you spend hiding is "fugitive time" and does not count as "parole time".
If you have a warrant in North Carolina and live in Florida can you be served in Florida?
If NC has entered the warrant into the interstate law enforcement system, yes, FL can serve the warrant - take you into custody - and hold you for extradition to NC.
Can you get a job with a class III misdemeanor?
It is entirely up to your prospective employer as to whether they wish to hire you or not.
Is France a non-extradition country?
Absolutely not. France has long maintained strong diplomatic relations, including a treaty of extradition, with the USA. If you're looking to escape for a crime committed, France is not the place. Sorry!
Is it possible to get a job with a misdemeanor on your record?
well i think it depends what job you go for An employer is under no requirement to say "WHY" you didn't get a job. I honestly don't know whether you can or cannot. But I do know that I have more than one misdemeanor and have never been denied a job based on that fact. It depends on the company. As a matter of fact I had a Human Resources manager tell me one time "well, it's not like you killed someone or robbed a bank". As I said ALOT depends on the company. Also, anti-discrimination law (applies to some employers, not all) prohibits employers from considering (or asking about) arrests, but allows consideration of convictions, if the conviction relates to the job duties (don't hire a convicted embezzler to handle cash). Answer If you have been looking for a competitive job lately, you will notice that many applications ask about "Have you ever been convicted of any offense besides a minor traffic violation?" Answering "Yes" in this job market means you have to walk on water to go any further. There are so many people who can say "No" because they either didn't do it or didn't get caught. Like Denzel Washington said in "Training Day", "It's not what you know, but what you can prove." You're not likely to get a lot of sympathy from the general public who see eliminating candidates for any reason as good increasing the competitiveness of their loved ones. Ever think about that?
