As soon as an active warrant is issued in Clare County, Indiana, the local police actively pursue the individual whose name the order was released. In fact, it is the police who petition the tribunal for the issue of arrest warrants. This is done by filing an affidavit that informs the court of the incident that is being deemed as criminal and the role played by the accused in it.

For the court to grant the request, the police have to ensure that their evidence is conclusive enough to establish probable cause. Often, witness testimony delivered under oath is all it takes to convince the judge of the merit in the case.

A warrant, once released to the police, is only recalled in very rare cases. One of the likely reasons for this can be if another person is accused of the crime, and hence the probable cause that formed the basis of the warrant issue is no longer valid. Otherwise, all typographical errors in the document are treated as inconsequential unless they are found to compromise the accused’s fundamental rights.

Because arrest warrants are only issued in the gravest of circumstances, and since outstanding warrants from Clare County stay in the police database through the lifetime of the accused and beyond, these orders should always be cautiously considered.

If you fear that an active warrant from Clare may have been issued against you, contact a lawyer promptly. Also, get somebody to do a warrant search on your behalf without actually naming you. To initiate an inquiry into warrant issues, you can get in touch with:
