Types of Warrants in Doral

Arrest warrants are the most common type in Doral. A judge signs one after reviewing a sworn affidavit with probable cause as required under Florida Statute 901.02. The warrant directs all sheriffs in the state to arrest the named person. It can be served any time of day or night in Doral or anywhere in Florida. These warrants never expire. They stay active until the person is arrested or a judge recalls the warrant. Even very old warrants can still lead to arrest during a routine traffic stop or other police contact in Doral.

Bench warrants come out when someone fails to appear for a court date. They show up in all types of Doral cases, from traffic tickets to serious felonies. A capias is a court order that functions much like an arrest warrant. Violation of probation warrants get issued when probation terms are broken. Fugitive warrants apply to people wanted in other states who may be in the Doral area. Under Florida Statute 933.07, search warrants expire after 14 days. Arrest warrants from Doral cases have no expiration date whatsoever.

Public Access to Doral Warrants

Doral warrant records are public under Florida's Sunshine Law. Florida Statute 119.07 gives every person the right to inspect and copy public records from government agencies. This covers the Doral Police Department, the Miami-Dade Police Department, and the Clerk of Court. You do not have to be the person named on the warrant. You do not need a reason for searching. The law applies to everyone.

Some records are exempt from public disclosure. Active criminal intelligence and investigative information is protected under Florida law. Search warrant affidavits remain sealed until the warrant is carried out or officers say it cannot be executed. Not every Doral warrant appears in online databases right away. There can be a lag between when a warrant is issued and when it enters the public system. If you believe a warrant exists but cannot locate it, a criminal defense attorney can make inquiries with the Doral Police Department or the Miami-Dade Warrants Bureau directly.

Handling a Doral Warrant

If you find there is an active warrant for you in Doral, get legal advice first. Do not go to the police station or the Miami-Dade County jail without talking to a lawyer. When you turn yourself in under Florida law, you go into custody before being able to post bond. A criminal defense attorney in Doral or Miami-Dade can help you figure out the best way to deal with the warrant based on the charges.

Under Florida Statute 901.16, the arresting officer must tell you why you are being arrested. If the arrest is based on a warrant, the officer must state that. The physical warrant does not need to be in hand at the time but must be shown to you if you ask. For bench warrants out of Miami-Dade courts, a lawyer may file a motion to quash the warrant and set a new hearing. This is often the quickest route to clear up a missed court date without jail time.

Note: Doral warrants do not expire and can result in arrest at any point, even years down the line.
