In Columbus, OH, I have received WARRANT w/$10,000 CS bond.  Will cops come to my house after 5pm or weekend?

1. Yes, they will come to your house, work, any other place and pick you up anytime day or night. 2. C/S bond is Cash or surety, usually 10% of the cash bond ($1000.00 instead of 10,000) If you pay the 10% you have to do it through a bondsman and you won't get the money back, if you pay the full $10,000 you will get your money back after the trial is over minus court costs, fines and fees.

Usually a "failure to appear" warrant will not result in jail time unless you have many prior failure to appears and they can show a pattern or if the failure to appear is on a serious felony crime or a crime in witch you are out on bail. Now either way it will be better for you to turn yourself in. However do not turn yourself in on a friday as this may result in sitting in jail until monday. Also I would call the court clerk and try to reschedule an appearance before I turned my self in to show that you did make an effort. Oh yea it is also bad if the appearance is for sentencing. They really frown on ditching accountability. In addition by turning yourself in you avoid all the hassle of having your car towed away and impounded if you are pulled over while drving. Don't panic! Especially if this is a minor offense. The courts and jails are so jammed up with truly bad people they have no time or room to lock people up for minor offenses. Even if it seems really bad to you. I assume that it is minor because you don't seem to have much experience dealing with the law. I personally have been pulled over with a valid warrant and the officer just cited and released me. However I have also seen people get hauled in friday night and have to wait til the offices open up Monday morning to be released with nothing more than a new court date. Anyways good luck and stay low until Monday.

Look up your local newspaper's website & go to 'Police Blotter'

Of course you have a right to know why. If I was in your situation, I would call the office of the prosecutor who issued to warrant. Inform them who you are, ask why there is a warrant out for your arrest, and arrange a time for you to turn yourself in. It may be something as simple as an unpaid ticket, then they will just want their money and will probably let you go, if it's something more serious, you can decide whether you need to bring a lawyer with you (which you should if they are arresting you). It will look good to the judge if you are willing to face the charges rather then them having to look for you, besides, I wouldn't want a warrant for my arrest hanging over my head. Good luck.

There are several things going on here. First, there is no "Debtor's Prison" in America, although there are ways to end up in jail by purposely avoiding debts or refusing to pay legitimate debts and breaking other laws, like hiding your money in offshore accounts and not reporting it.\n\nIf police come to your door, you should never, ever open it until they produce the warrant and allow you to see it through the peephole or whatever. Usually, they "claim" to have a warrant, but rarely do they have one when they're on your porch; they get one later, which of course, is against the law. \n\nSince you've been in jail and been thru the system, you probably know the police break more laws than any criminal ever thought about, and the police do it every day. They have complete disregard for the law, because they are above the law and nearly beyond prosecution for something petty, like the manner of arrest (unless they get caught on video, like the Rodney King beating).\n\nThe police never come alone, so they have more witnesses than you do, and all of them will swear in court they had a warrant if you didn't check beforehand. \n\nThey will have to have "exigent" circumstances to break your door down and come get you. They don't like to do that and create a bunch of nasty evidence of their violence and obrusive nature, so they will usually just stake out your house and wait for you to come out. Either way, you would have to deal with it. Now that it's in the past, it's a done deal, unless you had a camera pointed at them.\n\nLive and learn and go on; try to put it behind you. You can't beat them anyway on such a flimsy thing that they deal with all of the time.

THEY won't look very hard for you, since a simple DUI is a misdemeanor that can't pursue you across state lines.\n\nBut if you posted bail  and skipped out, the agency who posted bond will be looking for you with SKIP tracers...AKA bounty hunters.\n\nYou might want to delete this message, as there might be a way for them to locate you from your email....

Call a local bail bondsman if you want to know about a warrant.

You may be arrested and be extradited to the jurisdiction where the warrant is.  Or you may have no consequence..depending on the extradition policies of the departments.

I'll admit my answer might be rusty, and I suspect anyone's answer is likely to depend on whether or not they're in the same state you are...this is something a state can regulate (though they obviously can't give the police any more latitude than the Constitution does already).\n\nOn to the rusty answer:\n\nThe last I knew, there was no such thing as a no-knock warrant.  In other words, a judge could not issue a warrant excusing what the Constitution required of law enforcement.\n\nHOWEVER...\n\nCourts have allowed (and probably still do), law enforcement to ignore the requirement if they are aware, *at the time the warrant is served*, of the facts mentioned by some of the other posters (heavily armed, etc).\n\nAs I recall, this is the case because what a judge might agree to today (that announcing is excused), might not still be the case when law enforcement went to serve the warrant five days later.  For that reason, I am of the belief that an issuing judge cannot excuse the requirement in advance, but courts can excuse the requirement after the fact, based on the facts presented to law enforcement at the time the warrant is served.\n\nLike I said: my answer might be out of date.  I don't keep up on this area of law because I don't deal with it much any more and it's the kind of thing I'd be able to research before I served the warrant.  It's possible judges are issuing "no-knocks" now, but the way I understood it seemed very Constitutionally reasonable and I'd be a little surprised if it's changed.

Call and say you think you have an arrest warrant out and wish to pay it; ask how much the fine is.\n\nThen you will know.

Depends.  First, did the police have a search warrant? If not, did someone give them permission to search? (a roommate or family member, for example).  Was the substance viewable from outside (e.g. through an open door or window that was open)?  \n\nIf you have a little money, you should retain an attorney.  It will give you some piece of mind, and he/she may be able to help before any problems arise.

Go down to your local office and request it.  They should have had the warrant with them, but the law does not require that they have it in hand (although highly preferable), as long as it exists at the time.  You may want to go ask for it and just check it out.
