A: Warrants have many strict rules that if they are not followed and executed correctly then they can be dismissed. However, you seem to be saying there was a 10 day limit on an arrest warrant. I have never seen a deadline to execute an arrest warrant.

It is common with search warrants that there are deadlines or specific dates that a search warrant must be executed.

This is something that you should contact and hire a lawyer to full examine because you might have a good case if your PO didn't do something right.

On another note, most PO's have the authority to check on someone who is on probation without a warrant so a couple things to look into with your situation.
