Warrants are orders from a judge that gives the police permission to search a certain area or to arrest a person who has something to do with a crime.
The person or group that asks for a warrant is called the warrantor. The officer issuing the warrant must have a good reason to think that evidence of a crime will be found at the given location or that the person being arrested is guilty of a crime. The judge who looks over the application and decides whether or not to issue the warrant is called the issuing authority.
When there is evidence and a set of circumstances that would make a reasonable person think a crime has been done, this would be called “probable cause.”

Brownsville Bench Warrants
A bench warrant is a court order to arrest someone. The name comes from the warrant being given from the judge’s seat.
Bench warrants are usually issued when a defendant doesn’t show up in court when they were supposed to.
The bench warrant lets police arrest the person and take them to jail to reschedule a court date or keep them there until they can see a judge.
Brownsville Arrest Warrants
A warrant for arrest is a court order that gives law enforcement the right to make an arrest.
Before issuing an arrest warrant, the officer must have a good reason to think that the suspect has done something wrong.
Probable cause is evidence that would convince a reasonable person that the suspect has done something wrong. This evidence could be the word of a witness, a physical object, or a confession.
Fugitive Arrest Warrant
A fugitive warrant is issued when a person isn’t found where the crime is said to have happened. This usually happens when someone is suspected of committing a crime and leaves the state to avoid arrest.
Search Warrant
A search warrant is an order from a judge that lets the police look for evidence of a crime in a certain place.
Usually, a search warrant is needed when the police have a good reason to think evidence of a crime will be found.
In certain situations, the police may search without a warrant, but this is usually only done in emergencies.
