If you are a party to a case, your attorney can request them from the court through the normal discovery process. If you are representing yourself, contact the clerk of the court and ask for the forms to make the request yourself.
If you are a reporter, you might be able to get certain information by filing a Freedom of Information Act request (or state equivalent).
Otherwise, you generally cannot get such records for ongoing cases, and usually not even for closed cases involving other people.

Most courts charge for transcripts with a per-page amount. A lot would depend on what your legal need for these documents are. Freedom of Information Act does not mean there isn't a charge for copies. You may be able to "read" them.

send someone to pick them up for you , or go in person , be prepared to go to court / as you may want to have any warrants recalled by the judge if that is possible. assuming this warrant is a traffic court / bench warrant kind of thing and not more serious.

If the local jurisdiction is uncooperative, you can file for the public records under the Freedom of Information Act.
