The easiest way is to ask the police. They can access their databases and will be able to tell you quickly and at no cost to you. However, if you do have a warrant out against you, you can be arrested on the spot. If you suspect that you have a warrant for arrest and you know in which locality it would have been issued, then go to the relevant courthouse; the personnel there will be able to tell you and you probably won't get arrested, at least unless the underlying crime is serious. Again, this a cost effective approach. Also, you can find out if you have awarrant for arrest by using an online website. All the public databases (anywhere in the U.S.), are now available to you, although there is a charge. Since they are confidential, there is no possibility of your getting arrested by using them.
