Warrant Arrest Legal Process

Summary

In Michigan, warrants dont expire and can lead to immediate arrest if discovered during a traffic stop. Legal representation is crucial. If arrested, the individual will be taken to the police station, booked, and likely held in custody until a court hearing. If they cant afford an attorney, they may qualify for a public defender. Resisting arrest, especially with violence, can result in additional charges and the use of restraints like handcuffs, belly chains, or leg irons. Cooperation with law enforcement is essential to avoid further complications. Legal aid organizations like Michigan Legal Help can provide free legal advice and assistance.
