What is the burden of producing an actual arrest warrant?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Alcorn, 15 Cal.App.4th 652, 19 Cal.Rptr.2d 47 (Cal. App. 1993):
Appellant argues the prosecution failed to meet its burden because it did not produce the actual arrest warrant, choosing instead to rely on the abstract. Appellant relies on People v. Romanoski (1984) 157 Cal.App.3d 353, 204 Cal.Rptr. 33, which held the prosecution must produce the actual warrant or a certified copy when the validity of an arrest pursuant to warrant is challenged.
