Question

When can a misdemeanor warrant be served at any time of day?

Answer 1

Arrest warrants, felony or misdemeanor, can be served anytime and anywhere.

Answer 2

Yes 24-7.  

Answer 3

In California:

Misd  warrants can only be served between the hours of 0700 and 2200 unless the person is in a public place.  

Answer 4

Oh yes, definitely anytime. But the real question is do the police think it's worth their time to go pick up every person with a warrant for petty things like writing a bad check or making harrassing calls. Most often, they really wait until they have some contact with you, then they'll snatch you in.

Answer 5

Yep. Can be served anytime. I like to serve them at 3-4 o'clock in the morning when they are sound asleep and less likely to expect it.
