Can arrest warrant be served at detox facility?
You don't have sanctuary, however are supposed to be anonymous & they are good about protecting your i.d.
Addition & Clarification: The question makes no mention of what kind of "facility" is being referred to. A hospital? A 'drunk tank?" What? Your "anonymity" to law enforcement may depend on whether the facility is privately or publicly funded (i.e.: taxpayer supported). As stated above you should have no expectation of being sheltered from an arrest warrant. The only place you are totally free from having it served on you is on the grounds of a foreign embassy.
it means you will be in jail until your court date
If someone violates felony probation and gets charged with another felony will they go to prison?
Yes, the odds are very high that they will go to prison, if not for the VOP on the first offense, then probably for committing the 2nd offense.
Can you be picked up on a warrant you already did time for?
A warrant is a command from the court that a specific person be arrested and brought to the court. If the warrant is still active then the officer has little choice, he is probably required by law to arrest you.
Where are you taken when you are arrested?
It depends on what officer arrests you and where you allegedly broke the law. If you're arrested in a city by a city policeman, you'll probably go to the city's jail. If you're out in the country and you're arrested by a sheriff, you may well end up in the county jail. I believe federal law enforcement has arrangements with counties and cities to house their newly arrested suspects. I just read an article where a person who was arrested for breaking a federal law was remanded to the Marshall's custody - in a county jail.
Will you get caught trying to fly with a warrant for your arrest?
No, most people fly to leave the county because of a arrest warrant.
Another View: In this day-and-age it is entirely possible that you may be subject to a name search [especially on international flights] and if the warrant is in the NCIC system you would be detained.
What does Affidavit for arrest warrant mean?
The written and sworn statement offered by a law enforcement official that describes the facts and circumstances that the official believes constitute probable cause sufficient for the judicial official to issue a search or an arrest warrant.
What are examples of a federal class c felony?

What misdemeanors is an officer able to arrest on without actually seeing the incident occur?
If an officer walks up to you and believes you committed any sort of misdemeanor, by law, he has the right to arrest you and hold you until you are seen before the magistrate judge. The magistrate will look at your criminal background prior to meeting with you .The Magistrate will decide where you rank on one of the three options due to your background.
1.Trustworthy enough to be released on a "promise to appear agreement" after the hearing. You will be ordered to sign a promise to appear form and you are back on the streets
2.A "flight risk" is where the magistre can put a bond/bail on you to assure you will show up for court. If you don't show up to court while on bail/bond, the county spends no money nor time in locating you. They notify your bondsman that your bail was breached and gives him a date and time you are to be back behind bars or the full bail amount, coming out of the bail bondman's account, will be awarded to the county.
3. If he finds you not deserving or stable enough to be released , you will be removed from your holding cell and placed into the general population part of the jail, where you will sit, until a verdict is reached on your case. He can also hold you with option2 by setting your bail higher than the higher class American could ever afford
The time between your arrest date and your plea agreement/trial date is the time the officer is allowed to gather evidence, file his paperwork, and send it all off to the county attorney to use in your case.
This process save the officers time and the counties money.
SHORT ANSWER: This will be different in every state and jurisdiction as set by their unique statutes.
For example: In the District of Columbia there are seven (7) "probable cause" misdemeanors:
(1) Simple Assault
(2) Petit Larceny
(3) Unlawful Entry
(4) Receiving Stolen Property
(5) Attempted Larceny
(6) Attempted Burglary
(7) Attempted Stolen Auto
Note: These seven misdemeanors just happen to be unique to Washington DC. The exact charges in other jurisdcitions may (and probably will) differ from these.
Search warrants can you get the property taken back?
The circumstances can vary widely and there is no general answer to this question because it can depend on many factors. The very fact that the property was seized in the first place makes one suspect that it might not be returned. If the property was "fruits of a crime" or illegal contraband of some type, definitely not. Other than that, identifiable personal property, actually owned by the defendant or the occupant of the searched premises, if it has no value to the prosecution, can probably be returned.
Can you go to jail for a warrant in debt?
A warrant in debt is not an arrest warrant: it generally is a judgment against you and a notice that you are in debt to another person or an entity. You can never go to jail just for owing money to anyone or anyplace else, unless the debt was the result of a crime committed, such as a bad check.
This is known as a consensual search.
Is a failure to appear warrant from 2002 still effective in Colorado?
It depends on what the offense was and if the case is still open and active.
Is there such thing as a no knock search warrant?

yes, see link
Was arested for a warrant for simple assault he have no bail how long can they hold you in jail?
24 hours
Can a judge issue a bench warrant and revoke your bail if you came to court but were a little late?
Yes indeed. If you're not present for roll call.
Added: First of all - - how 'late' is a "little late?"
If you arrive at court late and it is still in session, and it appears that you missed the docket call, approach the Bailiff or court security officer - advise them of your tardiness but that you are now present and ask their permission to appraoch the judge to explain your absence.
Suggestion: Be very humble and apologetic to the judge.
Depending on the judge (or their mood) they might order you into custody as a demonstration to the others present of the consequences of your act. However, in all likliehood the judge will withdraw the BW and simply make you cool your heels while holding your case to the last one of the session.
What is the name of the first page of a search warrant?
Don't understand what the questioner is asking. The entire document is referred to as the warrant. Are you referring to the first page which is sometimes referred to as the "cover sheet?"
THIS IS NOT A PROFESSIONAL OPINION. Could be. If the dog indicated something, that might constitute probable cause, but I'm not sure that justifies a search without your permission or a warrant. If the dog didn't indicate anything, I'd say you were subjected to an unwarranted search. You should get a legal opinion if you're of a mind to pursue this. An officer who has a canine on patrol with him can legally allow the dog to do "sniff search" if it does not extend the traffic stop an abnormal period of time. The Surpreme Court has ruled that a person is not extended the same rights to privacy when they are in a vehicle that they would be if they were in their home. The Court interprets this to mean that an officer when making a traffic stop can, have the occupants exit the vehicle and do a pat down of the occupants for his/her own safety. They further ruled that under most circumstances probable cause is not needed to search the passenger section of the vehicle. Many attorneys and civil rights activist believe this to be a violation of a person's civil rights. However, given the ruling by the Surpreme Court and by several lower courts in various jurisdictions it would be very difficult (read that as impossible) in such circumstances to win a case based on abuse of civil rights.
Can police enter an apartment if they saw suspects run into apartment complex?
your definitions of 'complex' seems pretty broad. if the police see a suspect go into a neighborhood (different buildings) then any search of any apartment therein would have to have a search warrent when entering private homes.
now if the police saw, or think they saw (and this is where the law is real vauge) someone go into a specific apartment that would give them probable cause enough to conduct a search of the apartments seen with the suspect goin into.
none of these rules apply to bounty hunters, who act on their own individualized code of ethics as far as entering private residences.
You will be charged with whatever offense you were arrested for and then be required to appear in court on theother two outstanding warrants. I strongly suspect that, based on your record for showing up for court, that you are looking at pre-trial jail time with no bail offered.
Why would there be a warrant for an arrest if the case is closed?
Define "closed." Is the original police criminal investigation "closed" or is the actual court case itself closed? As long as there are outstanding and un-addressed matters or un-prosecuted defendants, a court case is never closed until all known defendants in the case have been prosecuted. .
Can the non custodial parent lose visitation rights if he has a bench warrant issued?
It depends on what the warrant is for. If the crime committed will expose the child to any harm, you need to contact the court and make them aware of it and ask them to modify/change his visitation rights.
