How can I find out if I have an arrest warrant?
The document known as an arrest warrant is granted by a court of law, giving law enforcement the right to arrest a particular person. If an arrest warrant is issued in your name, the police can arrest you at any time, and it is likely that they will do so as soon as possible. While it can be dangerous for you to try to avoid the police, you may want to talk to a lawyer first or see to your business before being arrested. It’s crucial that you find out if a warrant has been issued for you, and find out what you can do about it.
How can I find out if I have an arrest warrant on myself?
Thankfully, the internet continues to innovate. Your best option is going to be utilizing an online public records database, such as SpyFly. Their archives contain billions of public records, including arrest warrants, and can get you access to your arrest warrant in moments. Moreover, you can do it from the comfort of your own home, whether you live in Texas or Alaska.
However, that’s not the only place you can do it from. SpyFly is accessible from mobile, meaning if you can’t reach your house, you can still cheek for an arrest warrant.
And the icing on the cake is SpyFly’s discretion; they won’t report your information to anyone, nor will they notify anyone of your search. This allows you to investigate your arrest warrant without fear that you may accidentally set your own arrest in motion.
Are there other ways of finding out if I have an arrest warrant?
Yes, however, they have some fundamental issues.
If you’re still desperate, you can visit a sheriff station and ask about your warrant. As the warranty is owned by law, they can provide you with a copy. However, the fatal flaw in this option is, if you are right, and if they have a warrant of arrest for you, you will be arrested immediately. While it’s still inadvisable to evade the police, by behaving in such an obtuse way, you may be left in a difficult legal position. Unless you’re only looking to get some funny stories out of your arrest, this is a terrible option.
You can also visit the county courthouse that issued the warrant. Just speak to the county clerk, and they will be able to process your application. However, there are problems here as well. First, police officers often visit the courts and are almost certain to walk around a little. They want to arrest you, which may not be the best option right now. In addition, the county clerk will take some time to complete your request, and it is unlikely that he will give you the results for several days. With any arrest warrant, time is of the essence, and you need to act fast.
Alternatively go directly to your lawyer. If you do not already have an attorney, most law offices have access to a type of database of legal documents. This includes warrants of arrest. If you are willing to cough up a consultation fee, you will be able to find your warrant. However, if you are wrong, and there is no warrant for your arrest, you will have lost a lot of money learning that.
