When someone is taken into custody on an outstanding warrant, the transport goes to the nearest magistrate for an immediate appearance and review of the warrant. The magistrate is the official authorized to review the warrant, inform the person of the charges, determine probable cause, and set bail or release. The victim’s address, the arresting officer’s station, or the county jail administrator are not the proper places for this initial legal review or bail decision.
