5-02/150.65 - Warrants, Probate Code 1442



Warrants may be issued under this code for children who, if they remain in custody of the persons holding them, may suffer injury or be removed from the court's jurisdiction.  These warrants, from the People of the State of California to the Sheriff of Los Angeles County, direct the Sheriff to take the juvenile from the custody of one person and deliver him into the hands of another or to bring the juvenile before the court.

These warrants are subject to the same requirements as warrants in Lieu of Writs of Habeas Corpus with the following exceptions:

  • They do NOT need the seal of the court; and
  • They CANNOT call for an arrest of the person holding the child.
