The warrant fee can be collected upon conviction of a defendant only when a peace officer executes the warrant.

• A. True
• B. The warrant fee applies only if the warrant is processed by a peace officer
• C. The warrant fee is never collected
• D. False

Answer: (D)

Warrant-related costs are administrative court charges that are tied to the processing or service of a warrant, not to the defendant’s conviction or to who executes the warrant. The idea that the fee can be collected only upon conviction and only when a peace officer executes the warrant is not correct. In practice, these fees are typically assessed at the time the warrant is issued or when it is served, and they can apply regardless of whether a peace officer is involved or whether the defendant is ultimately convicted. So this statement is false.
