Re: Arrest warrant

You can see the approved application of warrant in your case papers with the court or apply for a copy of the same from the court.

Re: Arrest warrant

Yes, you may seek a certified copy of the arrest warrant or the "look out notice" issued by the police. You may require "cooperation" from police authorities and not "confrontation". your statement shows that you have not been able to obtain support from the police which is unfortunate; you may need some introspection about your 'public dealings' methods.

You may also approach the local court in whose jurisdiction the police station may be falling.

It may be better to engage a local counsel with the specific mandate to obtain for you a copy of the arrest warrants and/or look out notice.
