Who Issues Warrants in Lauderdale Lakes
In Florida an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Lauderdale Lakes that means the Broward County Circuit Court, which hears felonies, civil cases over $50,000, divorces, probate and juvenile matters; the County Court, which takes misdemeanors, traffic cases, small claims and civil cases up to $50,000, issues its own warrants on the cases before it.
When a defendant misses a court date the judge issues a bench warrant, and either kind of warrant lives in the court file of the case, kept by the Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller.
