While active warrants will eventually lead to arrests, not all detained people get convicted and sent to jail. The ratio of conviction versus acquittal is fifty-fifty. So, although all warrants are served, many detainees are released on bail, and others are found not guilty by the court. This should be considered when looking at the results of an arrest warrant search from Fayette County, AL.

If every outstanding warrant were to lead to a prison term, the state correctional facilities would have long since run out of room. However, this is no reason to underestimate the powers of an arrest warrant. Remember that warrants have the backing of the police as well as the judiciary.

So, they allow police officers to exert additional powers when it comes to making arrests. For example, unlike other judicial provisions like search orders, etc., which have a fixed period of validity, outstanding warrants stay in effect for as long as it takes to apprehend the accused.

Also, arrest warrants are not limited to the issuing county; this means that they can be served in any part of the country. Finally, it should also be considered that the police cannot overturn detentions effected under an active warrant’s powers. The arrestee will only be released when the court grants him freedom under a bond. In Fayette County, arrest records and warrants information is offered by:
