Police do not necessarily need a warrant to arrest someone. Basically an arrest means that they have strong reason to believe that someone has broken the law. A warrant allows them to arrest the person on sight even if they are doing nothing wrong at the time.
If you feel like the arrest is unjust your best option is to get an attorney.
Yes, of course. An arrest warrant is a command from a judge to arrest a person. Usually a police officer has no choice and must arrest.
ANY offense which occured in an officers presence, or any felony crime for which your name and/or description has been flashed over the police communications systems.
If you have been charged with a crime, and are not in custody yet, or have failed to appear in court to answer the charge, a criminal arrest warrant will be issued.
Without a warrant you must find reasonable grounds to arrest someone, whereas with a warrant your reason to arrest the suspect already exists. Without a warrant a Police Officer can arrest anyone without permission of a Magistrate as long as they follow the correct procedures so their arrest is lawful, which is unlike an arrest with a warrant where you must be granted the warrant to be able to arrest that person. Without a warrant, a Police Officer can mess the arrest up and make it an unlawful arrest but with a warrant it is very unlikely that they make it an unlawful arrest.

Police with an arrest warrant can enter the home of the person named in the warrant if they have reasonable grounds to believe he is on the premises. They can search the premises in any place the accused person would be able to hide (they couldn't for example, look in the drawers of a nightstand, because no one could hide there). Police have to get a search warrant to enter the house of a person other than the one named in the arrest warrant.
yes police can do what they want including kill you
an arrest warrant.
Technically they cant unless they have a search warrant not an arrest warrant.
If the officers can accurately identify the person wanted, or can verify a proper warrant then they will likely arrest you.
A warrant is an order for an arrest issued by the court. But many arrests do not need a warrant. If you punch someone in the face, and police are called, you will be arrested without a warrant, and one will not be needed. If say, you failed to show up in court, then a warrant for your arrest will be issued, to alert all officers that you should be arrested on sight. So the warrant itself is not the thing 'allowing' you to be arrested.
I recently got in trouble with the law. How can I find out if I have a warrant for my arrest without contacting the authorities?
