Three Types of Warrants in California
Bench Warrant
A California bench warrant is a type of warrant used to arrest and detain a person who has either failed to appear in court or failed to obey a court order. You can usually clear or “quash” a bench warrant by either: appearing in court, or possibly having your attorney appear in court on their behalf.
Arrest Warrant
Arrest warrants in California authorize law enforcement officers to arrest and detain parties if they suspect those parties of committing a crime outside of an officer’s presence.
Depending on the facts of the case, a skilled defense lawyer can work to: prevent a judge from issuing an arrest warrant, or if a warrant has already been issued, help the person named in the warrant from serving any county jail time or prison time.
Search Warrant
A California search warrant authorizes police officers to search a person, a residence, a vehicle, a place of business, or any other specified area suspected of containing evidence of illegal activity. Criminal defense lawyers can attempt to clear search warrants by filing certain motions with the court.
Can I clear a warrant without going to jail in San Diego?
In many cases, yes. Depending on the type of warrant and the circumstances, a warrant may be recalled without spending time in jail or posting bail.
Do arrest warrants expire in California?
No. Arrest warrants in California remain active until the person is arrested, the judge recalls the warrant, or the case is otherwise resolved.
What is the difference between a bench warrant and an arrest warrant?
A bench warrant is usually issued for failing to appear in court or disobeying a court order. An arrest warrant is issued when law enforcement believes someone committed a crime.
