I FIGHT HARD TO WIN FOR YOU!

Most people in New York are aware that there may be many nuances to laws that at times might make it hard to know exactly what is legal and what is not. It is also well known that there may be many steps involved in a single criminal case and each of these steps has associated procedures that must be followed exactly by both defendants and prosecution teams. 

The New York Senate explains that when it comes to arrests made by officers with warrants, there are very specific requirements on what the arresting officer is supposed to do when with the defendant they just placed under arrest. Depending on the nature of the offense for which the person is being arrested, a police officer might have to transport the defendant to another county in the state. This might happen if the warrant was issued in one county but the arrest was made in another county.

If a person deemed to be a juvenile is arrested with a warrant, the officer involved is required to communicate to the defendant’s legal guardian or parent about the arrest as soon as possible. The guardian or parent is also expected to be informed about the defendant’s location. 

According to the New York Police Department, if a defendant is brought before the criminal court in New York City after being arrested, they will either plead their innocence or their guilt at this time. Trials may be experienced for any type of case including violations, not just felonies or misdemeanors.
