MM,
You still continue to run from the question of how Limbaugh showed up because of a warrant, was booked, photographed, fingerprinted, released on bail yet somehow was NEVER arrested.
What was the warrant he responded to?
Why was he booked if he wasn't arrested. Cite another instance of someone being booked without an arrest. (Ken Lay showed up to answer a warrant and was booked, is now on trial. Are you telling us Lay wasn't arrested? Same with Martha Stewart.)
Florida law on bail
Quote:2) If the person arrested has a right to bail, the officer making the arrest shall inform the person of his or her right to bail and, on request, shall take the person before a trial court judge or other official having authority to admit to bail in the county in which the arrest is made. The official shall admit the person to bail for his or her appearance before the trial court judge designated in the warrant.
Florida law on arrest warrants
Quote:(1) A warrant may be issued for the arrest of the person complained against if the trial court judge, from the examination of the complainant and other witnesses, reasonably believes that the person complained against has committed an offense within the trial court judge's jurisdiction. A warrant is issued at the time it is signed by the trial court judge.
Florida does allow for a summons to appear in court for misdemeanors.
Limbaugh was charged with a felony. Limbaugh turned himself into the jail, not the courthouse. The court issued a warrant, not a summons for Limbaugh. The warrant was an arrest warrant per Florida statute. Limbaugh was arrested, booked, then given the opportunity for bail just like the Florida statute states.
