A Georgia Affidavit For Arrest is a legal document used in the state of Georgia for law enforcement to make an arrest. It is a sworn statement from the police officer, detailing the facts they believe constitute probable cause for an arrest. This affidavit is usually used in criminal cases, but can also be used in civil matters. There are two types of Georgia Affidavit for Arrest: an Arrest Warrant Affidavit and a Search Warrant Affidavit. The Arrest Warrant Affidavit is used when a police officer believes they have evidence that a person has committed a crime, and the Search Warrant Affidavit is used when a police officer believes they have evidence that a person is in possession of contraband or evidence of a crime. Both affidavits must provide a sworn statement from the police officer detailing the facts they believe constitute probable cause for the arrest or search.
