Warrant for my arrest...?
813682
Failing to report for Jury Duty is considered Contempt of Court.\n\nIt's unlikely that a judge would decide to clog a jail cell with such a minor offender.\n\nWhen/if you appear before a judge, simply explain your reasons for having forgot.  Everybody forgets something sometime.  Explain that you weren't trying to get out of jury duty and that you want to complete your civic duty.  Most judges are reasonable people and you'll likely just be assigned another week to be on call for Jury Duty.\n\nBut don't forget the next time....  Or the judge won't be so understanding....

If contraband was found during a search....you or the person who was in the home or vehicle should have been charged and arrested then....\n\nWhat was the reason for the search? Was a search warrant issued at the time by a judge? Did the police tell you that they had found what they were looking for in your immediate area?\n\nThis story sounds a little iffy....Give more input and maybe I can give you an opion....\n\nTechnically...if you were not arrested at the time of the search..you can go wherever you want.....you were not arrested at the time....and the police did not tell you not to leave town....

try to call and explain to them what happen and get a answer from the courts, you might have a warrent out for your arrest,or you can go to the court house and see the judge and explain but have at least a 100.00 dollars for bail

I had my door kicked in by the police and my house was destroyed during their search. They cut open my couch, put holes in my walls looking for drugs that were not there. \n\nThe address on the search warrant showed the house next door.\nOOPS\n\nThen they arrested me an took me to jail for 20 hours to make sure "that I couldn't tip off the neighbor that the warrant was really for"\n\n\n4 years later I just happened to get called for a jury duty with a case that was almost identical to what happened to me and quite frankly I would have voted to hang the police in that case.

Gotta sort some things out:\n\nYou said you were arrested because the bouncers said you were drunk, uncooperative, and didn't want to pay your tab.  So what, exactly did you get arrested for, and how do you know what it was?  You should have something available to you that lists the charges you were booked on.\n\nLater in your question, you do say you were arrested for drunk in public, but you also mention the warrant.  I'm asking about this drunk in public arrest, because either you were really a jerk to the cops, or they chose to do more work than they needed to...if a guy is so drunk that he's a problem, AND he has a warrant, everybody I know just arrests for the warrant and disregards the drunk in public charge.  An arrest report for a warrant is much simpler than an arrest report for being drunk in public, and it accomplishes the same thing.\n\nBut...I'll assume you have the facts in order, and you were arrested both for the warrant and the drunk in public charge.  So now you want to know what punishment you'll get, what you should do, and if it's worth "fighting."\n\nWhat should you do, and is it worth fighting:\n\nIt sounds like you aren't disputing any of these things.  If you're a guy who just wants to apologize to the Court for screwing up and take your lumps, then that's what you should do.  If you're a guy who isn't especially interested in being held accountable for what you have and have not done, then fight it tooth and nail and hire a really expensive attorney.  You might be able to beat the drunk in public charge...you never know.  Seems like it's going to be a little difficult to beat the warrant, though.\n\nNobody here is going to know what punishment you're going to get, for a host of reasons.  Drunk in public is a misdemeanor, and you can do up to a year in jail and pay a $1,000 fine for it.  That, however, would take an act of God, assuming you even get prosecuted for it (a lot of District Attorney's offices aren't interested in prosecuting a guy for a first offense drunk in public charge, except...)\n\n...if you are still on probation and being arrested for drunk in public (or for consuming alcohol) is a violation of your probation.  Since you had your DUI reduced to a wet reckless (note spelling), it would surprise me a little if you didn't have some kind of alcohol-related terms.  Plus, as one of the other posters has mentioned, summary probation typically includes an "obey all laws" clause and it would seem you failed to do that...maybe.  Violating probation can result in jail time, and you're kind of at the mercy of the court on that one...there is no truth to the rumor that you will do whatever time your original sentence would have been, had you not accepted probation.   You might do more, you might do less.  DUI is punishable by 48 hours in jail, but I have seen PLENTY of people violate DUI probation and get five, ten, fifteen, or thirty days in jail because of it.\n\nThere's probably quite a bit more we could talk about, but it would take forever, there are lots of variables, and I'd need more information than you've posted, anyway.\n\nI'm a big believer in owning up to what you've done, but I'm also a big believer in safeguarding your rights.  You would probably do well to at least consult with an attorney and see what you think after that.

The Judge in the County he is wanted in will be the one to set bail. You can not do anything for him until that happens. You can email me if you wish. Tell me more about it and I can try to help you. amber_leaf1957@yahoo.com

You sure you have a warrant in the first place?  Minor violations like those are usually handled just by having DMV suspend your license until you take care of them.  \n\nEven if you have a warrant, I can't imagine it's not going to be citable...meaning the cops could just give you a ticket for it and call it good, then you'd have a new appearance date for court and the warrant is gone.\n\nBut again - I'd be surprised if you even have one, and I'd be even more surprised if the cops cared enough to come look you up, no matter who rats you out...this should be a really minor warrant, unless they take those things *awfully* serious up there in Tahoe.\n\nI'll contact you off-line regarding some other information.

If your friend is someone you think would have an outstanding warrant, I don't think you should let him stay at your house anyway. But what you can do is go to your city's courthouse website and most of them will have a list of people with outstanding warrants.

You could be subject to arrest.  It depends on the judge.  It would behoove you to show up. At least call if there are circumstances that prevent you from attending, but have a good reason.

Not entirely sure I'm following your question.  \n\nIs it lawful for me to apply for and receive a search warrant for the premises of a dead person?  You betcha'...it would make murder investigations pretty difficult if not.  \n\nDoes there have to be PC to believe a prosecutable crime will be discovered?  Apples and oranges.  Search warrants are issued (at least in California), under the following conditions:\n\n(1) When the property was stolen or embezzled.\n(2) When the property or things were used as the means of\ncommitting a felony.\n(3) When the property or things are in the possession of any person with the intent to use them as a means of committing a public offense, or in the possession of another to whom he or she may have delivered them for the purpose of concealing them or preventing their being discovered.\n(4) When the property or things to be seized consist of any item or constitute any evidence that tends to show a felony has been committed, or tends to show that a particular person has committed a felony.\n(5) When the property or things to be seized consist of evidence that tends to show that sexual exploitation of a child, in violation of Section 311.3, or possession of matter depicting sexual conduct of a person under the age of 18 years, in violation of Section 311.11, has occurred or is occurring.\n(6) When there is a warrant to arrest a person.\n(7) When a provider of electronic communication service or remote computing service has records or evidence, as specified in Section 1524.3, showing that property was stolen or embezzled constituting a misdemeanor, or that property or things are in the possession of any person with the intent to use them as a means of committing a misdemeanor public offense, or in the possession of another to whom he or she may have delivered them for the purpose of concealing them or preventing their discovery.\n(8) When the property or things to be seized include an item or any evidence that tends to show a violation of Section 3700.5 of the Labor Code, or tends to show that a particular person has violated Section 3700.5 of the Labor Code.\n\nSo if any of these conditions apply, a search warrant can be issued.  I'm not sure what you mean by a "prosecutable crime," so it's a little tough to know how to answer you on this point.  All crimes are prosecutable unless there is some legal bar to prosecution (statute of limitations, etc).  \n\nIf I develop probable cause to indicate a stolen TV is in your house, I can seek a search warrant to seize it.  Even though you may not know anything about the TV, and may not even know it's in your house and therefore aren't going to be prosecuted for it, a search warrant can still be issued because the property is stolen.\n\nYou're also asking about PC for an unchargeable crime...and again, I'm not really certain what that means.  Let's take the TV example above, and throw in there that the statute of limitations for that crime has passed.  The TV is still stolen (and other sections would apply as well), so I can still get a search warrant.  \n\nIf you have a specific set of facts, they might be helpful in developing a better answer for you instead of the fairly generic question you've posted.  You're welcome to contact me if you think I can help more with this.

If the possible warrant is in reference to you, and you have a driver's license go to your state's department of motor vehicles (in California, it is the DMV. The agency name may be different in other states) and request a check on outstanding warrants.\n\nIf the warrant is for someone else, go to any police agency in the county that you suspect that there is a warrant, and request a check for outstanding warrants on that person. You will need to know the person's full name, date of birth, and last known address. Note, too, that if there is a felony warrant, you could be held as a person of interest or a material witness.

The best way to find a warrant is to call the Sheriff's office in that county...they will have a record of all warrants issued that day!

Call the local PD, Sheriff's Office or state police post and ask them if you have any.  Sheriff's usually serve warrants where I am, so start there.  Then ask them if you can take care of it by turning yourself in or if you can just show up to court on the next court day to resolve it.  Then stop breaking the law.

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.

Go up to the nearest police officer and ask him to check. Turning yourself in if you have a warrant is easier on you then letting them come find you anyway.

In the UK, the police do not need a warrant to arrest you for any criminal offense if they have reasonable grounds  for believing you committed it or may be about to do so. The time of night and where the arrest takes place are totally immaterial as far as the law is concerned.\n\nThe police may need a search warrant to search your property, but this does not affect their right to arrest you.

From time to time, police departments are known to do roundups or warrant runs.\n\nIt is in your roommate's best interest to go ahead and get this taken care of.  They know the warrant is out there, and if they voluntarily take steps to resolve the issue, it will go easier on them.\n\nIt will likely be a fine, and your friend can ask the court to work with them regarding payment plans.
