How do I find out if I have a warrant?
There are basically 4 ways:
1. Call or go to the police station.
Don't Do This! Bad idea! They won't tell you over the phone. And common sense should tell you if you show up and ask officer friendly, he probably won't be so friendly.
2. Find a lawyer, ask the lawyer:
Lawyers who can tell you
3. Try an online search.
I've searched around and even though they say free warrant search, I haven't found a free one yet.
If you decide to pay for a warrant search, go for one of the better ones:
Some County Sheriff Departments do have warrant searches on their sites for warrants in those counties.

4. Call the court.
The best way is to call the court you think it may be out of. They will usually tell you over the phone if there has been a warrant issued. I'm a fan of free.
Choose a court from the city or county you may have had an incident in.
Municipal courts usually deal with speeding tickets and misdemeanors.
