§ 966 Clerk to issue bench warrant - Several counties.

If you're facing multiple charges or your case involves more than one county, the court clerk has the power to issue a bench warrant that covers all of them at once. This means law enforcement isn't limited to just one county when it comes to enforcing the warrant.

The district attorney is the one who asks the clerk to do this. Once that request is made, the clerk can issue the warrant right away. It doesn't matter if court is currently in session or not. This gives prosecutors flexibility to act quickly, even outside of normal court hours.

For someone dealing with a criminal case, this means a bench warrant could apply across county lines. If you have a warrant out for your arrest, it's not necessarily limited to just the county where your case started. It can follow you into other counties as well.
