This wouldn't be tolerated if we were talking about the LEO and I don't want to go down that route. :rules:

Wait to be clear here for my personal edification, if there is an arrest warrant out they don't need to provide such to the custodial parent in attempting to apprehend the minor, and instead just note that there is an arrest out?
Pretty much. Get a scanner and listen to all of the traffic stops that result in an arrest because there is a warrant out for the person stopped, or even the passenger in the vehicle stopped. If they had to wait for some other agency to provide them with a copy of the warrant, then there would be an awful lot of cops just sitting around waiting for warrants to be delivered.

My point is that the cop said there was a warrant when there wasn't, and mom, probably from watching too many cop shows on TV, insisted on seeing it (rules are different for search warrants) and was arrested for something, which I still see as a violation of her rights, and an apology is just not adequate compensation.
A traffic stop I can understand not having the arrest warrant available and that is probably why the law is written as such. I know these are probably treated the same but I can't for the life of me figure out why you would send officers out to a residence to execute an arrest warrant and not send a copy with them. This is not a traffic stop, but a planned arrest at a residence. It just seems like good practice to have a copy of the warrant to avoid the exact situation that happen in this case.
