Nevada Warrant Details

The warrants are authorized codifications issued by the court of a particular county. Warrants in Nevada can also be issued by officials from legislative offices, municipal judges, magistrates and other judicial representatives. After a Nevada warrant is issued it is served by Police officers, a Sheriff or a constable. The subject of the warrants should follow the court orders accordingly or else multiple warrants may be issued.

Warrant Types

There are three types of warrants that are issued from the court of Nevada. These include arrest warrants, execution warrants and search warrants. The arrest warrants give police the authority to detain an individual against a probable cause. The search warrants carry orders for a law enforcer to search a property, person or a building for seeking evidences pertaining to a criminal case. Execution warrants or death warrants are issued to an offender with a verdict of a death sentence.

A bench warrant is also a kind of an arrest warrant which dictates the law enforcer to arrest a person on the spot. On the other hand the outstanding warrant is one which has not been served. The probable causes for issuing an arrest warrant are-

1.    If the district attorney or the peace officer is able to produce proper evidences depicting that a person has committed a crime.

2.    A grand jury indictment.

Remove a Bench Warrant in Nevada

Removing a bench warrant is not a difficult task in Nevada. In most of the cases clearing a bench warrant does not require a bail or a jail period. In case of a misdemeanor, the attorney needs to appear before the court for the expungement process. But if the offender is a felon then he would have to appear before the court along with the attorney.
