Namely, know that there is a judicial order that needs to first authorize the detention and also the extradition of an individual to the court that has issued the warrant. Georgia arrest warrants can be issued whenever a magistrate considers that there is a probable cause that could prove that an individual has committed a crime. When the respective person does not appear in court at the pre-established court date or whenever that person is being held in contempt of court, an arrest warrant can also be issued on his or her name.
