  Warrant (law) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Warrant officers derive their authority from an authorization given by a defense minister as opposed to actually being an officer of the state.
Warrants are typically issued by courts and are directed to the sheriff or a police officer.
Warrants are also issued by other government entities, particularly legislatures, since most have the power to compel the attendance of their members.

 Warrant (finance) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
When a warrant is exercised, a new share of stock is created, whereas when an option is exercised, the owner of the option receives an existing share that is delivered by a counterparty (except in the case of employee stock options, where new shares are created and issued by the company upon exercise).
Traditional warrants are issued in conjunction with a bond (known as a warrant-linked bond), and represent the right to acquire shares in the entity issuing the bond.
Warrants are issued in this way as a 'sweetener' to make the bond issue more attractive, and to reduce the interest rate that must be offered in order to sell the bond issue.

 Want to torture? Get a warrant
An application for a torture warrant would have to be based on the absolute need to obtain immediate information in order to save lives coupled with probable cause that the suspect had such information and is unwilling to reveal it.
The warrant would limit the torture to nonlethal means, such as sterile needles, being inserted beneath the nails to cause excruciating pain without endangering life.
Those who favor the torture warrant argue that the opposite would be true: By expressly limiting the use of torture only to the ticking bomb case and by requiring a highly visible judge to approve, limit and monitor the torture, it will be far more difficult to justify its extension to other institutions.
