What are warrants?

Generally speaking a warrant is an order from a judge for a person to appear in court, or for property to be seized. In order for a warrant to be issued there has to be probable cause that the person committed a crime or was involved in criminal activity. People with outstanding warrants can present themselves to the court if they wish to avoid any additional negative consequences. Otherwise, when found by law enforcement officials they will be arrested and brought to court. Police officers can find these individuals either by looking for them, or by happening upon them at a traffic stop. The diligence of the search depends upon the severity of the crime and the known information about the person’s whereabouts.

Reasons for appearing on active warrants

One of the most common reasons to appear on a warrant search is the failure to pay a fine. Typically it has to be a substantial amount, or for a fine relating to a serious criminal offense in order for a warrant to be issued. Another reason people’s names appear on active warrants is because of failure to appear in court. If someone does not appear to a scheduled court date for any criminal reason then a warrant will be issued. Very rarely a name could appear on a warrant due to an error or mistake. Possible reasons for this include clerical errors or similar names. If your name appears on a warrant search and you believe there are a mistake, contact the court authorities as soon as possible to clear up any misunderstandings.

What appears in the results of a warrant search?

One important piece of information that will appear on the warrant is typically the jurisdiction or court system that issued the warrant. That way the person knows where to go or who to contact to fulfill the obligation to appear. The date issued will probably be found in the information as well. Very little information about the case involved will actually appear. Since the case is ongoing details could affect the sentencing or other court decisions. For this reason many of the details will not be made public until after the case is heard in court.

How to perform a warrant search

The most important piece of information that is typically required to perform an accurate search is the last name of the individual being checked. To make the search more precise the first name or first initial is helpful. The date of birth of the individual is also important to narrow down the search. If you have access to a cause or case number which is related to a known warrant then the search process is much easier. Keep in mind that the information contained in the search is updated by court officials. This process is typically updated frequently and accurately, but from time to time there is a delay for various reasons. Check back frequently for the most up to date information.
