What is a Warrant Record?

Warrant Records in Bates County Missouri include arrests, searches and seizures. Each category of the above is divided into various subcategories. An arrest warrant is a court document that authorizes law enforcement officials to arrest a person for an crime. A search warrant authorizes law enforcement officials to search and seize a person’s personal property if they believe there is a valid reason. A seizure warrant authorizes law enforcement officials to seize and remove property if they believe it was bought or used for illegal activity.

Warrant Records contain information about arrest warrants, bench warrants issued, names of arrestees, dates of arrest and names of accused persons, charges and date of trial or proceedings. They also show if the person has previously been convicted of a crime. In some instances, records show if the person has ever been arrested or convicted of a crime.

Warrant Records may also include arrests, convictions, adjudications, pleas of guilty or no contest, investigations, searches, seizures, jail records, and records of sexual offenses. If a person is accused of committing a crime, this information is recorded on an arrest warrant. If the person is cleared of all charges but does not have an arrest warrant issued against them, this is also recorded.

Any person eighteen years of age or older who is accused of, charged with, or convicted of a felony is considered a suspect in a criminal case. The name of the arresting officer must be indicated on the paperwork. Arrest warrants are issued by Magistrates, Probate courts, or county clerks. They can be renewed periodically. If the current warrant is extended, the new documents must be renewed.
