Using the restat command to remove you warrants is a loophole that should not be abused. If you do use it and find your warrants removed, expect yourself to have the warrant placed back on you.
Now if you want to let the character autodelete, and recreate the character from scratch it is more understandable, though you should not expect to find much sympathy from the clan you were once warranted by when it comes to dealing with them as a normal citizen.
Deleting and retstating does not automatically wipe the slate clean. If you want that, create a new character with a new name.
