Warrant for arrest
A warrant for arrest is a legal document issued by a judge or magistrate that authorizes law enforcement to arrest a specific individual. It is typically based on evidence that suggests the person has committed a crime or is suspected of being involved in criminal activity. The warrant contains details such as the individual's name, the charges against them, and the jurisdiction where it is valid. Having a warrant means police have the legal right to detain the individual, ensuring that due process is followed in the criminal justice system.
