Outstanding Warrant Sweep in Quincy Nets Arrests
A recent sweep of those wanted for outstanding warrants in Quincy netted 22 arrests.
Coordinating with other law enforcement agencies, the Quincy Police Department located and took into custody 20 wanted criminals in pre-dawn raids. The range of charges appeared to be mostly felony offenses, including intimidation of a witness, breaking and entering offenses, larceny, credit card fraud, and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon. Two additional persons turned themselves in after hearing about the raids.
When there is an outstanding warrant held on your for failure to appear in court on a criminal charge, it can feel like you are just waiting for the police to find you. You can live under constant stress and threat of arrest.
This can be true even for very old, and relatively minor offenses. Though the police probably won’t be breaking down your door, if you have an outstanding criminal warrant for something like driving on a suspended license, even if it is years old, and happened in a different state, you are still under threat of arrest.
Outstanding warrants don’t go away by themselves. There is no statute of limitations on old charges if you are still considered an active fugitive. Even if your warrant has been buried in paper for years, it can pop back up when the data gets computerized and shared. License plate scanners are being deployed by police departments across Massachusetts, and they have access to federal law enforcement databases nationwide which includes outstanding warrant info.
This means, that just driving your car down the street could result in a match via Registry and Court data that gets you pulled over and arrested on the spot.
But if you haven’t been arrested yet, there is still time to fix this problem, and even a chance to make it disappear entirely in some cases.
