Warrant Procedures in Greensboro
Warrants in Greensboro follow state law under N.C.G.S. Chapter 15A. A judge or magistrate issues an arrest warrant based on probable cause. The warrant must name the person and state the charge. After officers serve the warrant, they file a return with the court. The record then becomes public.
Search warrants work the same way. They are sealed before they are served. After service, the warrant and its papers go to the Clerk of Court and become part of the public file. Judges can keep warrants sealed if releasing them would harm a case or put someone at risk.
The North Carolina criminal procedure statutes set the rules for how warrants are issued, served, and filed in Greensboro and across the state.
Chapter 15A covers arrest warrants, search warrants, and all court procedures for criminal cases.
