However, the affiant (i.e., the person who requests the warrant) may request that public dissemination of an arrest warrant be delayed for up to 72 hours after its issuance under Rule 513(C). They may also file a motion to seal the warrant under Rule 513.1. Meanwhile, search warrants and their supporting affidavit are made public only after their execution per Pennsylvania Rules of Criminal Procedure 212.
