Degenerative diseases of the nervous system impose substantial medical and public health burdens on populations throughout the world. Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) are three of the major neurodegenerative diseases.
Search official government websites. If you have access to the Internet, then you can quickly find out whether or not there is a local warrant out for your arrest. Go to the city, county, state or federal website where you think you might have a warrant for arrest. You can also call the county, state, or federal clerk's office. 2  Note that if you call from your own phone, the police may be able to locate and arrest you. 3  They can trace the phone number to an address, or to any billing information associated with that phone number.
Once a bench warrant is issued, however, the police can treat it like any other arrest warrant -- and use it to bring the defendant back in front of the judge. (For more on failing to appear in court, see Bail Jumpingâor Failing to Appear After Bailing Out.) By contrast, the arrest warrant process is started by a police officer. The officer files a statement with the judge explaining why he believes that the person named has committed a crime (in legalese, the officer is showing probable cause to arrest the person). If the judge is convinced, she signs the warrant, and the police can make the arrest. That doesn't mean that police officers must go running back to court for arrest warrants for every purse-snatcher they see. Many arrests do not require a warrant at all. The most typical use of an arrest warrant is when an officer wants to nab an unsuspecting suspect in the comfort of his or her own home.
