Editing Arrest warrant (section)

==Czech Republic== <!-- R to section {{Arrest Warrant in the Czech Republic}} links here -->
Czech courts may issue an arrest warrant when it is not possible to summon or bring in for questioning a charged person and at the same time there is a reason for detention (i.e. concern that the charged person would either flee, interfere with the proceedings or continue criminal activity, see [[Remand in the Czech Republic]]).<ref name="CNC">{{cite journal|last = Czech National Council|title = Criminal Procedural Code of the Czech Republic|journal = Collection of the Laws of the Czech Republic|volume = 141| issue = 1961| location = Prague| language = cs| url = http://portal.gov.cz/app/zakony/zakonPar.jsp?page=6&idBiblio=30139&recShow=91&nr=141~2F1961&rpp=15#parCnt| access-date = 14 July 2012| archive-date = 7 October 2017| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20171007201846/http://portal.gov.cz/app/zakony/zakonPar.jsp?page=6&idBiblio=30139&recShow=91&nr=141~2F1961&rpp=15#parCnt| url-status = dead}}</ref>{{rp|at=§69(1)}}

The arrest warrant includes:<ref name="CNC"/>{{rp|at=§69(2)}}
* identification of the [[criminal charge|charged]] person
* brief description of the act for which the person is charged
* designation of the section of the criminal code under which the person is charged
* precise description of the reasons for the issuance of the warrant

The arrest is conducted by the [[Police of the Czech Republic|police]].<ref name="CNC"/>{{rp|at=§69(3)}} Following the arrest, the police must within 24 hours either hand the arrested person over to the nearest court or release the person.<ref name="CNC"/>{{rp|at=§69(4)}}

The court must immediately interview the arrested person, who has the right to have an attorney present, unless the attorney is not within reach. The court has 24 hours from the moment of receiving the person from the police to either order [[Remand (detention)|remand]] or to release him. Reaching the maximum time is always reason for immediate release.<ref name="CNC"/>{{rp|at=§69(5)}}
