Answer 3

That's a great question. If you suspect you might have a warrant for a lesser crime, you can voluntarily go to the police department and ask. Many municipalities offer an "amnesty" for things like tickets, trespass and other minor summonses. You can pay the fine and forget the past.

For more punishable crimes for which you are facing incarceration or a trial, you might ask law enforcement. If you know a criminal defense attorney, ask them to check for you.

You can also pay for a criminal background check on the internet. Warrants might show up if you buy the right service.

Knowing that you have a warrant and doing something are two different things. You will need to make sure to protect yourself at all possible. If you have been involved in a crime or witness to one, you should cooperate with law enforcement.

If you face justice, hopefully you can rejoin society with a better understanding of societal norms. Everyone deserves to make mistakes. Restitution and redemption are helpful for the troubled soul.

Answer 4

There is more than one way.

1. If it is serious, hire an attorney and he/she can find out.

2. For any warrant, if you get stopped by a law enforcement officer regardless of reason (i.e. traffic violation), they will automatically check for any out standing warrants.

3. If the warrant is for a felony, the officers come looking for you.

4. If it is a felony warrant, you can go to the web site of the agency closest to the court and check their wanted persons page. If a Federal warrant see the FBI and Federal Marshall's pages.

5. Last, you find a law enforcement officer, or go to the station and ask.

SPECIAL NOTE: The use of Internet businesses for a criminal check may easily result in you being ripped off. Many of them sell highly inaccurate information and generally lump many different, unrelated people with the same name together, regardless if you supply them with current correct information and a Social Security number. They will also collect, use and sell any information you give them.

Answer 5

Get a criminal background check done. Some employers require that - we had a guy who had open warrants going back to the 70's that he didn't know of. He called up the police there and they had him fill out a form to clear it up.

Answer 6

call a bondsman. any reputable and/or smart bondsman has a connection in the warrants dept of the county sherrif and city police in the area where they are licensed to write bonds. they will call and ask for you because if you do have a warrant then you can do one of two things:
if it is a charge and a county/municipality where you can do a walk through, the bondsman wants your business
if it is something you have to be arrested for before you are able to bond out, the bondsman wants your business and will set up to do the bond once you become bondable.

a walk through is where you know you have a warrant, there is already a bond set (this occurs for most misdemeanors), and all you have to do is pay the bond fee to the bondsman and take the bond to the jail with you where they will book you in then book you out rather than having to be arrested, transported, booked in, wait to get a bond set at arraignment, find a bondsman, find someone to take money to the bondsman (because they don't do it for nothing down unless you are a regular with a good history with them and if you were a regular customer, trust me, you would already know the answer to this question), etc.

a bail bond, if you don't know, is a monetary promise to show up for court. you can either have a friend/family member pay in full for the bond yourself but you run a 90% chance of having the bond revoked and losing all your money because it will be up to you to find out when your court date is scheduled, which is very difficult for a private citizen to do, or you can hire a bondsman. hiring a bondsman is basically taking out a loan. the way you repay the loan is by showing up for court and following the bond rules. if you don't do one or both of those things you will go back to jail. and no you don't get your money back when you are finished with court. do you ask for your money back from the bank that you borrowed to buy your car when you are finished with that car?
your bondsman will monitor the court dockets/arraignments and will tell you when to go to court so they don't lose their money. if you don't show up to court, you will be liable to the bond company for the full amount of the bond, the bond company will have to pay a % fine to the court, and you WILL be re-arrested.

if you call the police/sheriff, they will tell you that they can only find out if you have a warrant if you come in to their office. that way, when you go in, if you have a warrant they will arrest you on the spot to save themselves the time and manpower of hunting for you.

Answer 7

I would suggest going to the local police station and asking them. If you do, it'll save them the trouble of coming after you.

Answer 8

Call up to the jail and or have someone call for you and say its a family member concerned

Answer 9

Call your local police station,they will be able to tell you.
