| Reasons Warrants are Issued |
An arrest warrant can be issued for different reasons. The two most common reasons warrants get issued are if a law enforcement officer has probable cause to believe you committed a crime or if you were required to attend a court date and failed to appear. |
| |
| Probable Cause Warrant |
| An arrest warrant must be supported by a signed and sworn affidavit showing probable cause that 1) specific crime has been committed, and 2) the person(s) named in the warrant committed said crime. |
| |
| Failure to Appear/Bench Warrant (Capias) |
| A bench warrant, sometimes also called a "capias," is a type of arrest warrant. A bench warrant usually commands the arrest of someone for failing to show for a required court appearance. |
