Florida WARRANTS
Arrest Warrants · Bench Warrants
Orlando Criminal Defense Attorney
ARREST WARRANT vs. BENCH WARRANT. In Florida, both arrest
warrants and bench warrants are orders from a court or judge.
Arrest warrants and bench warrants can be Federal or State
issued and are executed by a law enforcement officer.
An arrest warrant is a formal document given to the police, ordering
the arrest and detention of a person. An arrest warrant generally will be issued
after a Grand Jury indictment or when law enforcement reasonably suspects criminal
activity has happened. In the majority situations, individuals are not aware that an arrest
warrant exists until the police are in the process of arresting them.
A bench warrant, the the majority common type of Florida warrant, is an order
for the immediate arrest of a person. Typically, bench warrants
are issued for failure to appear in court on the date scheduled.
