Hello ****, generally, health clinics are not privy to arrest warrant information. They primarily focus on providing medical services. However, laws can vary based on location. May I know where you are located?

Hello ****, in Indiana, health clinics generally do not have access to law enforcement databases. They are focused on health care, not legal matters. Their main priority is your health, regardless of your legal status.
So my ex had a warrant and went to the clinic his son went to to get paperwork and they lied to him and said the computer system was down and that we needed to wait and next thing you know the police came and locked him up
I'm sorry to hear about that. It's unusual for a health clinic to be involved in this way. However, if the clinic staff suspected a crime or had been informed of the warrant, they may have alerted the police.
So when they check you in do they get an alert to alert the police
Generally, health clinics do not receive alerts about arrest warrants. They are primarily concerned with providing healthcare. However, if they are informed of a warrant or suspect a crime, they could possibly alert the police.
How would yhey be informed of a warrant?
Health clinics could be informed of a warrant in a few ways:
- Law enforcement notifies them directly.
- They come across information while dealing with a law enforcement agency for a separate issue.
- They suspect criminal activity and seek information from law enforcement.
Remember, this is unusual. Clinics focus on health, not law enforcement.
