Marion County, Missouri arrest record and outstanding warrants are kept by judicial entities involved in criminal processing and the local law enforcement agency responsible for controlling the law and order situation in the area. An active warrant is a court order, yet the police have to go to court with a signed and affidavit for its release.

This document serves the crucial task of updating the judicial entity that holds jurisdiction to rule in the criminal activity that has taken place and the role of the accused in it. Often, the petition will have to be backed by sworn testimony as well. At the end of the day, the decision to issue a warrant only based on the writ or call in the witnesses lies with the magistrate.

It is also crucial to understand that there is nothing arbitrary about the call taken by the judge. It has to be mandatorily based on the existence of probable cause. If the magistrate cannot ascertain probable cause clearly through the evidence presented, the police petition can be turned away.
