Warrants are an important tool in the criminal justice system. They aim to protect the rights of criminal suspects, as they require law enforcement to take several steps before performing a search or arrest. This helps to protect your rights against unreasonable search and seizure under the Fourth Amendment.
However, having a possible warrant out is never a great feeling. The police can execute a criminal warrant anywhere and at any time, irrespective of what you may be doing at the time. You might face a search or arrest with neighbors, family, or coworkers watching.
It is important to get ahead of warrants with the help of a Montgomery criminal defense attorney from Luck Law.
In Alabama, criminal warrants are issued by a judge. To obtain a criminal warrant in Alabama, law enforcement officers or prosecutors must present evidence to the judge, demonstrating probable cause that a crime has been committed by a specific individual.
Probable cause is a reasonable belief, based on facts and circumstances, that a crime has occurred and that the person named in the warrant is responsible for it. There must be more than just a hunch or suspicion - the officers must provide facts to support their belief someone committed a crime. A warrant might be for an arrest or to search a home, vehicle, or other private space to seek evidence of a crime.
Arrest warrants can also be issued for individuals who fail to appear in court or violate the terms of their probation or parole. These warrants are known as bench warrants or probation violation warrants, and they authorize law enforcement officers to arrest the person and bring them before the court.
Once a judge issues a criminal warrant, police officers can then execute the warrant within the scope permitted in the document. They have the authority to enter private property if necessary to search or make the arrest. However, it is important to note that law enforcement officers must still adhere to constitutional principles and respect the rights of the accused during the arrest process.
It is important to understand that an arrest based on a warrant is not a conviction of a crime. People who are the subject of a criminal warrant still have certain rights. These include:
Anyone facing an arrest based on a warrant should consult with a defense attorney to understand their rights and options. Further, if you suspect you have a warrant, a criminal defense lawyer can help you address the matter without an arrest or search in public.
