When you post bail in California, the fee only relates to the charges made against you during this incident. As a defendant, then, it’s important to know that you do not have other accusations hanging overhead. Our free warrant search in San Diego services can confirm that no external issue will delay your release from jail.

A free warrant search in San Diego also covers the other 57 counties in California. So, assuming you haven’t encountered issues while visiting other parts of the country, it should give confirmation as to whether outstanding cases pose a threat to your freedom.

Free Warrant Search in San Diego

Judges can issue a warrant for your arrest if an officer suspects that you committed a crime and can show the judge that there is a ‘probable cause’ that you have committed a crime. However, you may not even know about it, especially if it’s for something like a driving offense. Sadly, the fact that you have escaped punishment until now does not alter the fact that it can create complications at this time.

A free warrant search in San Diego can check all criminal data held by the California Department of Justice. This may include checking court websites, sheriff websites, and the Superior Court of California website while also running personal background checks. This will confirm whether any warrants (including pending warrants) outside of the current arrest have been registered against you.

What Happens if a Warrant is Held Against You?

The free warrant search in San Diego will hopefully show that you are only required to post bail for the recent arrest. If, however, a warrant has been posted for your arrest, it does complicate things. 

Ultimately, you would be arrested and booked in relation to this warrant. So, if you want to secure your freedom before facing trial, it will be necessary to clear this outstanding warrant as well as the latest bail fee. Alternatively, you can request an appearance date but will run the risk of being arrested there and then.

Alana’s Bail Bonds can post bail on an outstanding warrant by covering the bail for both arrests. Whether an outstanding warrant is found or not, our fee is 10% of the overall bail amount - although we do offer reduced rates, such as our Military Discount.

More Than Just a Warrant Search

As well as offering a free warrant search in San Diego, our experts understand that not all warrants are the same. More importantly, not all of them will cause a delay to the process of securing your freedom. The most common warrant types are;

  • Arrest Warrants: This is the District Attorney has filed formal charges because you are suspected of committing a crime.
  • Bench Warrants: This is when you failed to appear in court after being summoned.
  • Traffic Warrants: This is a warrant that could be put out for driving without a license or on a suspended license, which can cause further problems.

Search for warrants outside of California can be a little harder, but our experts will investigate all info that is publicly available. Crucially, we will determine what impact any outstanding warrants have on your situation and advise you on what steps need to be taken.
