278) Do Warrants expire? ~ #HaberPA / Michael A Haber Miami Criminal Defense DUI Lawyer

Thanks for asking me “Do Warrants expire?”

There are many different types of warrants.  For instance:

Arrest warrants are issued based upon sworn affidavits containing probable cause.

Bench warrants are issued when you fail to appear in court.

Probation warrants are issued when a PO file an affidavit alleging a VOP.

Extradition warrants issue when you’re a fugitive outside of the court’s jurisdiction.  Etcetera...

Regardless of the “why” of the warrant, the one thing that all of these warrants have in common is that they never, ever, expire.

Warrants only cease to exist under 2 circumstances: 1) when they are served (meaning that you’ve been taken into custody some where, some how) or 2) when they are set-aside (meaning that the Judge has agreed to quash the warrant).

The bottom line with your warrant is that it’ll outlive you.

In a way warrants are kinda like cancer.  If your warrant’s left alone, then just like an untreated cancer it’s almost sure to kill you; similarly,  ultimately, your warrant’s gonna catch up with you, and when  it does you’ll be taken into custody.  

The bottom line with warrants is that if you know there’s a warrant with your name on it, then you should deal with it, before it deals with you.

Thank you for your question.  I appreciate your having asked it.  Please remember that at #HaberPA it’s all about reasonable doubt!
