Sometimes the individual counties in New York list them via the Sheriff's office if they originate from say DMV. There are vendors out there that also charge a fee to access records relating to warrants. If you think you know the details: offense, court, etc., I would speak with a lawyer about it now so that if there is one outstanding he or she can help pave the way to getting it resolved before you are brought in in handcuffs.
