FAQ
Permanent Warrant: The warrant will remain active indefinitely until you address it through proper court procedures (Va. Code § 19.2-306).
When making an arrest without a warrant, the officer shall inform the person to be arrested of his authority and the cause of the arrest, unless the person to be arrested is then engaged in the commission of an offense, or is pursued immediately after its commission or after an escape, or flees or forcibly resists ...
Yes, if an officer has probable cause to believe someone has committed a crime, they can arrest them without a search or arrest warrant'. Normally the consequence is that that person can be brought to and booked into a jail.
Here's the catch—warrants don't go away on their own. Even if you try to stay out of sight, the warrant remains valid in the court system under (Va. Code § 19.2-306). It can linger for years, ready to be enforced whenever you're found.
Simply put, warrants never expire. However, suppose the criminal statute of limitations (SOL) has expired. In that case, you might be able to get the case dismissed for passing the time limitations. In California, the SOL for misdemeanors is generally one year from the time of the offense.
A stock warrant can cover any number of shares and often will have expiration dates far longer than stock options. Expiration dates of five, 10 or even 15 years are not uncommon for warrants.
If there is a reasonable expectation of privacy and there is not probable cause, a search warrant is required. However, if probable cause does occur, such as a suspect runs away, a gunshot is heard from another room in a home, or even when an individual makes a sudden movement, a search becomes legal without a warrant.
If evidence is obtained without a valid search warrant, and no exception to the warrant requirement applies, the evidence may be subject to the exclusionary rule. The exclusionary rule prevents illegally obtained evidence from being admitted in a court of law.
Hot pursuit: Officers can arrest and search individuals who are suspected of committing a felony. For the pursuit, officers can enter any property to search and seize evidence without warrants.
