An Overview of Arrest Warrant

An arrest warrant is a legal document that is signed by the magistrate authorizing the law enforcement officer to arrest and detain a person or people that have been described in the warrant. In general terms, a warrant clearly identifies the crime (for which the arrest is going to take place) and restricts the manner (in which the arrest is going to be performed). In some cases, the arrest warrant also mentions the bailing terms. If the warrant has been issued for not appearing at the courtas per ordered, it will be termed as €no bail Warrant€ which means that arrested person will not be released on bail at all.

Here we are discussing the general points to know about the city of Humble warrants for arrest.

Requirements: as per law, the police must have a warrant before arresting any person and they need to ask to court to issue it before making an actual arrest. For this, the police officer has to ensure thecourt that there is a probable cause that a crime has been committed by the described person. The court issues the warrant by considering the given complaint or the indictment:

Complaint: a criminal complaint is a legal complaint by an individual or a corporation to the police station that a person is suspected to commit a crime and how he committed it. For the issue of arrestwarrant, the police officer takes this complaint to the magistrate and swears under the oath that the complaint is accurate and truthful.

Indictment: if someone is charged with a felony crime in state or federal court, the prosecution has to get a grand jury indictment before taking the defendant into trial. Now the grand jury determines that there is probable cause that the defendant has committed the

certain crime. If the jury believes that there is a probable cause on behalf of evidence given by prosecutor, they will indict the defendant. Now when defendant is formally charged for committing the crime, the prosecution may ask to issue the arrest warrant.

In case the name is not known at the time of requesting the warrant, there should be a detailed description that the police can identify the person with reasonable certainty and with minimum risk of arresting any innocent person. 2. The description of the crime for which's committing the person is suspected. 3. The clear order stating that the arrested person will be sent before magistrate as soon as possible. 4.

Execution of arrest warrant: Police may show the warrant to the person and take him to the custody. After executing it, the police return the warrant to the judge.
