    You can check for active arrest warrants by inquiring at the courthouse. They will be able to tell you if they have are any active warrants in your name. The problem with this is that you can't be certain where the warrants may be. Which courthouse do you inquire at? This is particularly true if you've had your identity stolen and crimes committed in your name in other states or other countries.

    If you think that you might have active arrest warrants out on you then the last thing you should do is ask a police officer because he might just arrest you on the spot. It's much better if you find out discretely and confidentially by yourself so that you can do something about it before it gets out of hand.

    You might have outstanding warrants for a number of reasons and you might not have any idea that they exist. You might have picked up a speeding offense and haven't received notification or you might have forgotten to pay a fine, which resulted in a warrant.

    You could be the victim of criminal identity theft where someone has stolen your identity and committed a crime in your name. If this has happened to you then you could have many active warrants for your arrest in different places. This is the worst situation to be in and it's difficult to prevent it happening.

    Try calling the courthouse and tell them your situation. Bottom line though is that if you have a warrant for your arrest you will probably have to go to court and pay a contempt of court fee. Unless of course in the case that this is just a traffic ticket. Then you can probably pay the fine and all will be well. Call first then find out what the status is then you can go from there.

    The absolutely free background check sites generally provide the most basic of information, such as name, age and address. To get further information, money will have to be paid. The free searches do not provide much more than what can be found through the phone book or personal knowledge. It's impossible to get a free background check. You should stay away from shady background check sites, most likely you won't get any information after you make the payment. Not to mention you won't get a report and you won't get an answer if you try to call for a refund. Stick with a reputable background check site like ( http://reversephones.info/ ) that is surely the best. If I remember right it's around $20 for a full report.

    Free reverse phone lookup sites generally provide the most basic of information such as name and it works only for landlines. To get further information, money will have to be paid. The free searches do not provide much more than what can be found through the phone book.

    For the best answers, search on this site https://smarturl.im/aD48e

    The search is valid under Carroll v. United States, commonly called The Carroll Doctrine. In this decision, the Court determined a warrant is not needed to search a vehicle. Their reasoning behind this is because vehicles are mobile, and because you have a lesser expectation of privacy when on a public road. The accurate description of the vehicle/suspects along with probable cause a crime was committed is enough to allow the officer to search.

    Some courthouses have website where you can run a quick check on your name. I don't know if Oregon does but be aware that if your name doesn't turn up may either mean you don't have a warrant or the online file hasn't been updated.

    Go have a friend or a parent or another family member or a boyfriend or girlfriend or pet and have them ask for you.

    Or, grow some grapes and ask the judge you think your in trouble with yourself? Just throwing that out there.
