How long are temporary warrants valid according to MULES?

Temporary warrants in the Missouri Uniform Law Enforcement System (MULES) are valid for 48 hours. This time frame is established to ensure that law enforcement can act swiftly while also balancing the need for oversight and accountability in the warrant issuance process. After that period, law enforcement agencies must take further action if they wish to continue their pursuit, as the temporary warrant will no longer be effective. This policy helps maintain a clear standard for the enforcement of warrants within a set legal timeframe, promoting both efficiency and due process within law enforcement activities.
