Is there a way to find out if you have a warrant for arrest out for yourself or others? I have heard conflicting info on this. It seems to me that a person should be able to check with some indenty or should be notified- I would think that it would actually be a "right we would have"-

FYI_ Not a Lib and have never done anything to be arrested for. I live in a county where you just can't seem to get that kind of info- Recently a friend of mine got pulled over for a traffic vio and he was told that he had a warrant for an unpaid ticket and suspended license- the thing is he did pay it almost a year ago, but was not told that he owed an additional late fee- he was never notified of the warrant or the suspension- it turned into a mess, could have cost him his job- the county said Ooops! I guess it happened before we began notifying people- like they just got the brain strom to start letting people know in 2007!

Is there a secret society getting warrants for no reason out there? People have warrants for not showing up at arraignments or other court hearings that they usually have had a notice of, or for something criminal they have done. Some people think if they move and don't leave a forwarding address, they're not required to answer to a warrant if they don't get notice of it. NOT!
Everyone has a right to a copy of their CORI (Criminal Offender Records Information), but you have to fill out a form and tell someone your SSN and address. If you're afraid to let people know where and who you are, I guess you already know if there's a warrant.
If you want to risk arrest and bail, you can go to your local court's probation office and ask them to check wants and warrants, or if you know a cop, ask him or her to do that.
Otherwise, wait until you're arrested or stopped by an officer for something else.

Yes, you can contact the local state police or department of records for the state in question -- there's usually a small fee ($10 to $50 depending on the state) -- that gives you an official copy of your police record for that state, including outstanding warrants.

Your Suppose to be able too. But i can tell you it depends on the state. Had a friend in alabama. He contacted the sheriff office and state police and was told he didn't have any outstanding warrant's. Couple days later he was picked up on a warrent that was 6 mths old.
Who say's the old south has died...

If you were due at court then ring the court house, if not and you still think there is a warrant for your arrest then contact your local police station.
If you are willing to hand yourself in, it will make it easier for the police in the long run and will help when you are sentenced.

You can check online at your local courts website as long as it's not a juvenile or domestic relations issue those are not made public.
