How can i find out if i have warrants or not in kentucky for free?
If you know the county you need to call the clerks office of the court where you were charged. This is free and accurate. It's the only way to know for sure. Good luck with this as you don't want to find out the hard way. Don't go to a police station unless you plan on getting arrested. Also, if you go to a police station out of the jurisdiction of the warrants they may not show up as they may not have been sent to NCIC.

How can you know if you have any outstanding warrants in Kentucky? Will this show up in a traffic stop?
A traffic stop is a very good way to find out if you have any warrants but not always. Sometimes a minor warrant will not show up if it’s not posted in the NCIC database and you are outside of the jurisdiction of said warrant.Almost all felony warrants are entered into the NCIC and almost all law enforcement officials will run your name through it during any police contact, including but not limited to traffic stops.
How can I find out if I have an arrest warrant in Kentucky?
Usually if you do call the local Bail Bonds office they’ll be able to do a warrant check for you. Generally if you call the local police department they don’t really want you to know, so unles they’ve sent you a letter in the mail to come and turn yourself in they may not give you that information, however the Bail Bonds would and then they will even be able to issue a satellite bond which is even better because that way you can already have your bond in hand before you have to actually go to jail. You can just turn it in at the courthouse, fill out the paperwork and walk out of there on a bond…obviously depending on the charge.
Say you have a warrant in Kentucky, and you're trying to go to Vegas, can you get arrested and taken to jail if it's a felony?
Yes, you can be arrested on a felony warrant regardless of what state it was filed in. However, once the arrest is made the issuing jurisdiction will be contacted and requested to extradite the arrestee back to the issuing jurisdiction. If an extradition order is not sent, the suspect will usually be released. Most felony warrants contain extradition information such as “state wide, applicable in neighboring states and/ or nation wide”.If a suspect is wanted for violations other than homicide, the issuing jurisdiction may be perfectly happy to have a suspect flee to a location several states away, provided the suspect stays there. If a life long burgler from Idaho moves to California, The citizens of Idaho May best be protected by leaving him in California, rather than paying the costs of returning him, paying for a trial, and having him return to the streets after serving a short sentence.

My buddy was arrested in KY for 2 warrants in Texas, 1 failure to appear and 1 probation violation. Both are felony warrants. Would Texas be more likely to extradite him back or decline to and he would be released from jail in KY?
He's more than likely on a hold to be transferred to Texas as soon as whatever criminal offense if any are cleared up in Kentucky.Once in Texas he's likely going to be jailed without bail until he sees a judge. It's possible he gets revoked, jailed for whatever length of time then placed on post prison supervision. He can then apply to transfer to Texas if he wanted to.
How can I find out if I have a warrant for my arrest in Covington county without calling the courthouse?
Well, you COULD get someone else to make the call, or even (and this is the SMART WAY) retain the services of an attorney to find out for you, in which case the Clerk will absolutely HAVE TO inform the attorney truthfully, as will local police of the existence of such a thing.The police department might not answer a civilian truthfully. But they will NOT screw around with a Bar Card carrying attorney at law.
