Access Records of Idaho Warrants

Idaho warrants are usually issued by the judges of the Idaho courts and authorize the various law enforcement officers of the state to detain certain individuals accused of committing criminal or civil offenses. These warrants are normally maintained by the local police or sheriff’s departments of each county. The clerks of the courts across the state of Idaho are also entrusted with the responsibility of maintaining all records pertaining to the issuance of warrants.

Types of Idaho Warrants

Search warrants issued by the Idaho courts are required by the law enforcement officials to conduct a search of the person or location in order to obtain proof of offenses. Arrest warrants, on the other hand are required to arrest an individual accused of committing an offense. While the arrest warrant is necessary to detain a person found to be guilty of committing a misdemeanor, an act of felony does not always require an arrest warrant for detention of the accused individual.

Failure to appear in court at a pre set date and time entails the issuance of a bench warrant typically issued against persons accused of committing a contempt of court. Timely detainment of a person on basis of an arrest warrant is not always possible. The warrants which have not been served timely are termed as outstanding warrants and normally remain in force until the person in question is arrested by the police or peace officers of the state of Idaho.

Information Obtained from Idaho Warrants

A typical warrant contains the name as well as the address of the accused individual. The aliases used by a habitual offender are normally recorded within an Idaho warrant as well. The date of issue as well as the nature of the offense needs to be categorically stated within the warrant too. The name of the court and that of the judge issuing the warrant is mandatory as well. The signature of the judge included within the document makes the warrant legally binding and is treated as a genuine court document required for initiating the court process in the state of Idaho.

The online resource of Ada County Sheriff’s department available at http://www.adasheriff.org/warrantsReport/ provides the facility of a warrant search via the Internet. The names of people having a valid arrest warrant issued against them can be obtained by conducting a search through the database of the department.

Entering three initial characters of the last name will enable you to view a list of the offenders with arrest warrants. The type of offenses is limited to the traffic law violations and criminal offenses committed within the boundaries of Ada County. It is important to remember that the database may not always reflect the current situation as it is updated after every four hours.

While you are free to contact the peace officers or the Sheriff with the whereabouts of an individual with a warrant, detaining him yourself is against the law. Although the information provided by the department is complete, details of juvenile offenders are not considered to be public records and hence are not provided by the state of Idaho.

The Idaho Supreme Court data repository can be viewed from https://www.idcourts.us/repository/start.do and provides the public with information about various court cases including the records of arrest and bench warrants online. The entire database can be searched by name or case number.

Electronic records are available 1995 onwards while records for a few of the older cases may be available as well. While the entire information about the person with a warrant can be retrieved from the court databases, certain information is withheld for reasons of privacy. These include a part of the social security number, residential addresses and telephone numbers. Other personal identifiers like the driving license number as well as the account numbers pertaining to the financial status of the concerned individual are considered to be classified information.
