How To Perform an Alabama Warrant Search

For those who want to know whether there is a warranty out for their arrest in the state of Alabama, there are several ways to perform an Alabama Warrant Search. The easiest way, is to use the resources of a public record website. You will need to know the full name of the person in question to begin. You’ll enter their full name into the search field as well as the county, if you know it. Then once you find your search results you will possibly need to know the age of the person or their DOB as many people have the same first and last names in Alabama and it is helpful to be able to filter your results if there are more than one. This way you can find the correct Alabama warrant for the right person. One of the benefits of using an online public record website to access warrant information is that it’s typically confidential and anonymous. Since all Alabama warrants are public domain, anyone can look them up online.

Another way to access warrant information is to contact various law enforcement agencies and/or the relevant county courthouse clerk. This process can be tedious and difficult to track down warrants in Alabama since you will need to know where to search and not all the various agencies offer online search access for warrant information

A third way to run a warrant search in Alabama is to use the federal warrant search services where you can search for fugitives and those with warrants on a national level. You can perform a search via the FBI website, the US Marshal service as well as the DEA website. This is of course, if you know that the person in question has a federal warrant out for their arrest.

Types of Warrants in Alabama 

Understanding Alabama warrants, both arrest and bench warrants, is important for those who live in the state or those who could be subject to Alabama jurisdiction and arrest. Of the Alabama arrest warrants, there are also few different types of these, such as Alabama capias warrants and Alabama fugitive warrants. Since all Alabama warrants are public domain, anyone can perform an online Alabama warrant lookup online. Below are more details to the specifics of each of these different warrants.

  • Alabama Arrest Warrants: These are the most common type of Alabama warrants. An arrest warrant is issued by a judge when there is probable cause to believe that someone has committed a crime. This warrant allows Alabama law enforcement to arrest and detain the person named in the arrest warrant. 
  • Alabama Bench Warrants: A bench warrant is issued by a judge when someone misses a court appearance, disobeys a court order, or owes unpaid fines or court fees. Unlike arrest warrants, bench warrants can be issued without needing to provide evidence of a crime. 
  • Alabama Search Warrants: An Alabama search warrant authorizes law enforcement to search a specific place, vehicle, or a person that has been connected to a crime. A police officer must provide the warrant to the person before they perform their search. The fourth amendment protects unlawful searches and seizures so that is why the search warrant must be made available before any official search is made. 
  • Alabama Capias Warrants: This is a special type of warrant issued in specific court cases where a plea has been entered, but the defendant fails to appear for the sentencing. The capias warrant states that any Alabama law enforcement officer can arrest a person convicted of a crime and then bring them back to court for sentencing. 
  • Alabama Fugitive Warrants: These are warrants issued by one jurisdiction for a person who is wanted for a crime in another jurisdiction. In Alabama, this type of warrant gives Alabama law enforcement the authority to arrest the person and hold them in custody until they can be returned to the jurisdiction where the crime was committed. 
  • Alabama Outstanding Warrants: This term refers to any Alabama warrant that has been issued but not yet served. Outstanding Alabama warrants can be either arrest or bench warrants.

Agencies that Issue Warrants in Alabama

Multiple government agencies are involved in the issuance, service, and execution of warrants in Alabama. These include: 

  • Alabama Court System: Ultimately, it’s the Alabama court system and judges that issues the warrants. These legal professionals ensure that the process adheres to the state guidelines and the constitutional requirement for probable cause. 
  • Local Police Departments: These departments are often the first to apply for an arrest warrant following a criminal investigation. They execute most arrest warrants, especially those within their jurisdiction. 
  • Sheriff’s Offices: In Alabama, county sheriff’s offices also play a role in warrant issuance and execution. They are typically responsible for maintaining warrant databases and coordinating efforts to apprehend individuals named in warrants. 
  • Alabama State Bureau of Investigation: For state level crimes, or more complex criminal cases, the Alabama State Bureau of Investigation may be involved in applying for and executing warrants. 
Conclusion

In the United States, warrants for people accused of crimes can take the form of either arrest warrants or bench warrants. Arrest warrants, according to the laws set forth in the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, must be issued by a disinterested judge when a person is alleged to have committed a crime that did not take place in the view of a law enforcement officer. Bench warrants are issued by a judge to cause a person to appear in court when they are wanted as a suspect in a crime or as a witness. If you believe you may have an outstanding warrant in Alabama, it may be a good idea for you to contact an attorney’s office. An attorney can help you understand your legal rights and responsibilities to the state of Alabama when there is a warrant out for your arrest or a bench warrant out in your name.
