Performing a South Carolina Warrant Search

A South Carolina arrest warrant is a legal document that gives law enforcement the green light that they need to apprehend or arrest a particular individual. That person is wanted to answer charges that have been brought against them. Until they have answered such charges before the appropriate court, the arrest warrant remains in effect. There are too many of these warrants active at any one time for police to go chase down every person with a warrant out. For most crimes the person with the warrant should turn themselves in to law enforcement to make the process easier on themselves. To perform a South Carolina warrant search you can use a public record website to do this anonymously, which means no one will know you are looking them up. To begin, enter your name, or the person of interest, into the search form. Then once your results are displayed, make sure to verify it’s the right record for the correct person. Occasionally there are multiple listings for different people with the same first and last name. Once you’ve completed that last task, you can view their active SC warrants, criminal charges, prior arrests and criminal history. This is all public information that anyone can research online.

Do You Have A Warrant In South Carolina

Should you discover there’s an arrest warrant in your name in South Carolina, it is advisable to seek legal counsel immediately. Ignoring the warrant will not make it go away and can make your legal troubles much more complicated. Typically, the best course of action is to turn yourself in after discussing the matter with an attorney. It is possible to appeal an arrest warrant and the criminal charges attached to it, but you will want to consult with a criminal defense attorney first. You may need to first turn yourself in and then bond out of jail before appealing the criminal charges.

Do South Carolina Warrants Expire?

The simple answer is no, they do not expire. If you have an arrest warrant that has not been addressed, do not expect that it is just going to go away. You have to address these things or else they will only continue to fester. The thing about it is that a lot of people think that perhaps they can just skate by and stay under the radar, but that only works for so long. If you are pulled over for even a speeding ticket your record will be checked, and you will end up having to face the music.

Government Resources For A South Carolina Warrant Search

There are some South Carolina government agencies that you can research active warrant through. Some of these resources vary in what information they offer and you may need to register with them before accessing this type of information online.

South Carolina Courts: The SC state courts website is a good place to research both bench and arrest warrants. This is the website for the Judicial Department of the State of South Carolina. There you can also find all kinds of up to date information about cases making their way through the courts. It is important to check this website as well as the other one just to make sure that all of the records match up. It would be a shame to think that you do not have a warrant out when you in fact do.

South Carolina Sheriff Departments: If you know the county where a SC arrest warrant was issued then you can try searching that counties sheriff website. They often have a list of up to date warrants and most wanted in the county. Example of counties that have active listings are; Charleston County, Horry County, Lexington County, Greenwood County, and Charlotte County. Occasionally you may need to call in for this service, some of the smaller counties.

South Carolina Police Departments: Many police departments have city lists of active warrants. If you know the city to search, this might be an option for you. If you don’t know the city then a county or statewide search might be a better option to begin your inquiry. If this is the case, you can try inquiring with the SC State Law Enforcement Division.

SC Warrants and Criminal Records

Many people want to better understand the relationship between warrants and criminal records. A warrant itself is an instrument of the justice system, indicating suspicion, or an allegation, that a person may have committed a crime. However, having a warrant does not mean one has been convicted of any wrongdoing. That said, a warrant is still filed under a person’s criminal record and will stay there until it is executed or quashed by a judge. These are also part of a person’s public record which means that anyone can view them online through most any public record site.

    Andrew, we don’t show any active South Carolina warrants for you that resulted from a speeding ticket. Typically there is not a statute of limitations on driving infractions but it really depends on what type of speeding ticket you received. Additionally there is sometimes a failure to appear charge attached to this if you failed to show up in court or pay the traffic citation. You might want to contact your local traffic courthouse to find out more about this past SC speeding violation.

    We are happy to run a SC warrant search for you however if you feel that you are being harassed you may want to file a police report or hire legal counsel and inquire with them what your rights are. It certainly sounds like harassment if the bail-bondsman is calling your family members with threatening information

  30. Ratherstayanon says:

    How do I search information in regards to a person having warrants or not?
    I\’m trying to search for my cousin and his fiancee. There is a long story behind it but to just say the least, a bailbondsman keeps harassing us and them by calls and texts. But they have gave him locations where they were numerous times, made arrangements to meet him places. She worked for a bailbonds man herself and spoke with him about the situation he looked over the receipt she was given and said according to that the crook of bailbondsman received payment and was owed nothing, and advised them to stop responding to his messages because it was harassment. When that occurred the bailbondsman started calling their family members with the same crap about them having warrants they were running and etc.
