what is a felony warrant

A felony warrant is a type of arrest warrant issued by a court that authorizes the apprehension and arrest of an individual suspected of committing a felony crime. A warrant is a legal document that provides the authority for law enforcement personnel to apprehend and confine an individual who is believed to have committed a severe criminal offense. A judge or magistrate issues a felony arrest warrant on behalf of the state, which authorizes the arrest and detention of an individual, or the search and seizure of an individual’s property for felony crimes. If a judge has already determined probable cause and signed a warrant, an individual cannot argue probable cause at that point. However, it is possible to persuade the judge to lower or eliminate the bond based on other circumstances, such as having a job, good ties to the community, or never failing to appear in court before. Felonies are typically more severe than misdemeanors, and in many cases, when a felony is suspected to have been committed, a felony warrant is not needed, as an officer can arrest a suspect based on probable cause.
