Warrants of Arrest and Imprisonment

If you receive an Enforcement Order and you fail to act within the time specified, SPER may issue a warrant authorising your imprisonment and may add $87.00 to each fine. This warrant is called an Arrest and Imprisonment Warrant.

SPER will send the Arrest and Imprisonment Warrant to the Queensland Police Service and a record will be created on the Queensland Police computer systems showing that there is a warrant for your arrest.

Any police officer can execute the warrant, without giving you time to pay, taking you to a watchhouse where your period of imprisonment will begin before you are transferred to a prison.
