Art. 206 Procedure when warrant defective

If you get arrested and there's a small mistake or informality on the warrant, that mistake alone won't get the warrant thrown out. It also won't get you released from custody. The court can simply fix the error on the warrant instead of canceling it.

This means minor paperwork problems, like a typo or a missing detail, aren't enough to void an arrest. The focus stays on whether the arrest itself was valid, not on small technical flaws in the document. Courts have the power to correct these issues so the case can move forward.
