A Comparison of Problems and Legal Measures for Verification of Arrest Warrant Issuance between Thailand and United State of American

Abstract

This academic article, "A Comparison of Problems and Legal Measures for Verification of Arrest Warrant Issuance between Thailand and the United States of America", aims to grasp the complexities surrounding the issuance of arrest warrants in Thailand. It uncovers a frequent occurrence of erroneous warrant issuances and explores foreign legal frameworks concerning warrant issuance, with the goal of analyzing potential improvements to laws and criminal procedures. Thailand's Criminal Procedure Code stipulates that an individual's arrest necessitates a court warrant. However, the reality often diverges from this legal requirement. In practice, courts frequently issue warrants at the request of the police, often without conducting a thorough examination of the evidence. This discrepancy between the law and its implementation is a key issue that this article seeks to address.

Therefore, to protect the rights and liberties of the person whose arrest warrant will be issued and prevent the warrant from being issued for the wrong person, the author examines international legal principles and regulations to scrutinize the warrant procedures in Thailand and offers suggestions to bolster the legal scrutiny of arrest warrants domestically.
