I have a few question(s) for the legal experts in this thread. And just to be clear, I have never been involved in any arrest, in any way, other than watching L&O on TV.
Based on what everyone writes in posts, there are a lot of persons that would appear to be chargeable for some kind of felony, or violation of Fed code/reg. There are also a huge number of sealed indictments in the court system, many more than normal if I understand it correctly.
What I understand is that a person can have an indictment against them sitting out there (sealed indictment?), but may not yet be arrested of the specified crime. In order to arrest them, a judge has to issue an arrest warrant? So is the sequence Indict->Warrant->Arrest? How many officers do they send out? 2? More?
And, if they want to ensure the perp doesn't flee the country before LEO nabs them, would the Judge have to also initiate an order to flag that individual's passport at the border or in an Airport?
And, if Trump's EO on Civil Asset Forfeiture is also in play, some paperwork has to be prepared and processed through a Judge/Court in order to be issued.
So by my count, a target for arrest could have 3, 4 or more legal documents prepped for their arraignment. Also, they will be tried before a Jury, and in a Federal Court. Right?
So putting that together, if there are just a
1,000 people (there are 24,000+ sealed indictments out there), that would mean
3-4,000 legal documents to prepared, about
2,000 US Marshalls to round 'em up. And on, and on, and on...
This would take time...a lot of time, and is it possible that most of this paperwork may already be completed? And would that contribute to the slow pace of getting all this in place? And can we expect it continue to slog through the swamp, making another 1,000 or so lawyers or law firms millionaires in the process?
Thanks.
