If you call the county clerk and ask if you have a warrant will they tell you the truth?

I feel the court system is too money hungry. They expect you have an attorney available 24 hours a day at their normal consultation fees. The normal civil servants consensus is: they are not being paid to be an answering service.

First of all you would call either the District Court Clerks office or the Circuit Courts office. And yes we would tell the person they had a warrant. Most of the time they want to know how to take care of it, so of course we will tell them. And we are honest, I have always been fair and honest. I can't speak for all of the but I think overall Clerks are honest. We have nothing to gain by not be honest. I'm sure there are some Clerks and of course there are police officers that are not, but still I think overall they are. If not believe me it comes out eventually.

No, they won't tell you the truth!!! Even if you do, they'll say no and trace the call. They'll, say no because they "think" someone will take off knowing there is. Trust me--I know some in the courts that do this!! In Ohio anyway, but it's all crooked here anyway with law enforcement. There's a saying, Come to Ohio on Vacation, Stay 18 months here on Probation.

The county clerk will not always know, since there are varoius courts. They can not run a NCIC report for you over the phone,
so if they tell you they are not aware of one, that would be the truth, they are not aware of one, but it don't mean they are.

I always find these questions funny. Why does a criminal (someone with a warrant(any type of warrant)) always think that they should be told the truth. As if they deserve respect or something.

Some are and some are not. The county clerk should tell you the truth and if he/she doesn't then there should be repercussions. Try to tape the phone conversation.

If they have a policy to do this, I am sure that they will tell you. In some jurisdictions, they are required to make a positive identification of the person requesting the information. This prevents the unauthorized release of information to someone not entitled to it - protects your privacy.

How many politicians/those politically connected do you know personally? You can expect a truthful answer. Without some form of affiliation, your chances of a truthful answer is approximately 50% or less.

Yes they will... And if you do happen to have a warrant-they can't arrest you through the telephone!!!
