Answer 1

if he has a felony wt which it sounds like he does and they believe he is inside and you don't open it you will be buying a new door. they will be coming in.

Answer 2

If he doesn't answer the door and they come for him, thay are completely within their power to bust down the door and go get him. Also, if he is inside when they go in, there is a possibility that he will recieve extra charges. He should serve his warrant and get it out of the way.

Answer 3

you have to answer the door if they are there.  That is what warrant means...they don't need permission.  He goes to jail.  Nothing will happen to you if you don't have anything out for you.  Though if you don't corporate with then you can be charged with obstruction of justice.  You can be charged with harboring a fugitive if it is serious stuff that your friend is in.   They don't need a key they don't need a warrant they have one for him. .  He just needs to turn himself in or keep you out of trouble

Answer 4

A Warrant is a warrant.  They'll push the door down and get him.
