Question: Is it legal for the sheriff to make an arrest based on warrants? I was arrested in Van Nuys and out on bond.

Answer: If the warrant was valid, then yes. If the officer makes an arrest based on falsifying the existence of a warrant, then it is not a lawful arrest. You should contact a defense attorney to speak about your Van Nuys case in more detail, and the potential defenses. Call me at 818-336-1384 if you would like to discuss in further detail.
