How to use warrant in a sentence?

1. Jamela Dunbar:

   To be or not to be, is being here in the now if you are not here now, you are not in the now. Since we are sure about now to be here now, but not later. And since, there are no guarantees in life. All that we have is the now to be here, or not to be here. Given, that the evil forces of death will sign our death warrant to be or to not to be.”

2. Stew Peters:

   I think it’s a bit ridiculous to need a degree, you learn to be a cop by being a cop and you don’t learn to be a bounty hunter in a classroom, either. The bounty hunter added that there should be more initial field training as a requirement. Warrant service is easily the most dangerous part of law enforcement.

It strikes me as a fairly anemic effort if that was the counterintelligence effort designed to stop the threat as it's being represented.

5. Jay Haas:

   I think Phil, the intangibles that he brought to the team maybe put him over the top, you could say... his play didn't warrant being a consideration and all that.
