Warrant Types in Kissimmee

Arrest warrants are the most common type found in Kissimmee. Under Florida Statute 901.02, a judge reviews a sworn affidavit showing probable cause before signing one. The warrant tells all Florida sheriffs to arrest the named person. It can be served at any time. Arrest warrants in Kissimmee do not expire. They stay active until the person is picked up or the judge recalls the order. A warrant from years ago can still result in arrest during a traffic stop or other law enforcement encounter in Kissimmee.

Bench warrants come from judges when someone misses a court appearance. Kissimmee courts issue these for traffic, misdemeanor, and felony cases. A capias is a court order that works similar to an arrest warrant. Violation of probation warrants go out when someone breaks probation terms. Fugitive warrants cover people wanted in other states who may be in the Kissimmee area. Under Florida Statute 933.07, search warrants must be carried out within 14 days or they go void.

Public Records and Kissimmee Warrants

Kissimmee warrant records are public under Florida's Sunshine Law. Florida Statute 119.07 gives anyone the right to look at and copy public records held by state and local agencies. This includes records at the Kissimmee Police Department, the Osceola County Sheriff, and the Clerk of Court. You do not need to be the person named on the warrant. There is no requirement to explain your reason for searching.

Some records are exempt. Active criminal intelligence and investigative information stays private under Florida law. Search warrant affidavits stay sealed until the warrant is served or law enforcement says it cannot be done. Not all Kissimmee warrants will appear in online databases right away.

Resolving a Kissimmee Warrant

Discovering a warrant in your name is a serious matter. Talk to a lawyer before you act. Do not walk into the Kissimmee police station or the Osceola County jail without legal counsel. Turning yourself in under Florida law means going into custody first, then posting bond. An attorney can help you plan the best approach based on the charges and warrant type.

Under Florida Statute 901.16, the officer who arrests you must tell you why. If a warrant is the reason, the officer must state that. The physical warrant does not need to be present at the time but must be shown if you ask to see it. For bench warrants in Kissimmee, an attorney may file a motion to quash the warrant and request a new court date. This is often the fastest way to deal with a missed appearance without sitting in the Osceola County jail.

Note: Kissimmee warrants remain active until they are served or a judge cancels them, regardless of how old they are.
