Federal law requires that all states extradite criminals to other states within the United States.  This law can be found in Title 18 of the United States Code, section 3182.\n\nThe United States Constitution also states: "A person charged in any state with treason, felony, or other crime, who shall flee from justice, and be found in another state, shall on demand of the executive authority of the state from which he fled, be delivered up, to be removed to the state having jurisdiction of the crime." Article 4, Section 2, Clause 2.\n\nSo, to answer your question, every single state will extradite criminals.

In California, the general rule is that the police must witness the misdemeanor to arrest.  There are certain exceptions to this rule.  For example, California police may arrest suspects in misdemeanor domestic violence offenses, misdemeanor DUI offenses, battery on school grounds and certain other misdemeanors, based on probable cause rather than actually witnessing the crime.\n\nThat being said, the concept of charging someone for a crime is different than actually arresting them.  When the police do not witness a misdemeanor crime they may still take a report and forward it to the courts or district attorney for filing against the suspect.  So a person may still be charged with and prosecuted for a misdemeanor the police did not witness through this process - often referred to as a "long form" filing.\n\nFinally, a ticket is not always paramount to arrest.  In many jurisdictions, a citation is actually a summons to appear at a ceratin time and date.  At that court appearance date your friend may find out that the charges against him were not filed and that may be that.\n\nGood luck!

Did they break US laws in the US or one of it's territories?  If so, then YES.  We do have an extradition agreement with the UK.

Hey guy, you gotta get out of the state your in and pursue it from another location.  It would be shocking to the average person to realize how often this actually happens. I work in health care, we hate to take these cases because then the police are gonna harass us too. something similar happened in my own family. Good luck to you. :-)

If you have no accident or personal injury to another attached to the D.U.I.,then they won't cross state lines to nail you. I know because I live one state away from the state I was busted for back in 1986. They don't care if I am here nor are they trying to get me. I have quit drinking a long time ago!!!!!

That really depends.  If the warrant is in NCIC they will notify Missouri.  If the crime is not a felony or punishable by one year or in jail...YOU CAN NOT BE EXTRADITED.  The Uniform Compant on extradition requires the crime to be a felony and or punishable by one year or more.  That's it.  That's the statue.  All you pro-law enforcement types have to deal with it.  Don't like it, get someone else elected who will change the compact and then get all of the member states to agree (GOOD LUCK).  If it is a felony, then my advice would be to waive extradition.  They stand about a 50/50 chance of coming.  After about 20-30 days, if they haven't retrieved you, you will most likely get a bail or be released.  BTW-Enjoy this only 48% of fugitives are actually extradited.  The lower the charge and the higher the distance and the chances drop even more.  There are a couple of companies out there TRANSCOR and MIDSTATE that offer cost alternatives to the sheriff coming to get you, but it still costs money.  In the real world (THE ONE THAT MOST PRO LAW PEOPLE DON'T ACKNOWLEDGE) certain crimes are not worth punishing if it gets too expensive for the taxpayer.  \n\nIn any case the answer to your question is maybe.  Don't listen to anyone who tells you that you did the crime, do the time.  These people are insensitive and self righteous.  They don't understand what they are saying.  They have been raised to be hateful and have bought the current conservative pro-law lie hook, line, and sinker.  They are the first people to want mercy when they get in trouble.  Also, very often, they want to feel better about themselves.  They think that because they aren't breaking the law that they are somehow BETTER than people who do.  They need to feel like they are productive members of society.  These people tend to be angry, white, middle class, professionals, who don't have enough insight, education, or class to understand compassion and forgiveness.  Ironically, these folks are often active Christians who purport to be forgiving.\n\nGood luck.\n\nPS:  Anyone who wants to argue with what I've said has to realize that low level fugitives are not really sought by the police.  They wait for them to turn up.  If you are a fugitive and you want to turn yourself in and handle it, I encourage that.  However, if you didn't really do anything heinous and want to go on with your life, just avoid police contact and you will likely be ok.

Get a lawyer or public defender - regardless what it costs. It depends on the crime - but generally - if he is in jail now - he either committed another crime - or they put him in there for jumping AR probabation - a violation of his terms. The fact you stated "he ran" means he had to report to a PO - and didn't - and knew he was committing another crime - as did you. A good lawyer could possibly have the extradition waived, in lieu o fjail time or probation in NM  - though that is not a guarantee. \nAnd when you get a lawyer - make sure you tell him everything - unlike here.

If another state has a warrant on a subject it is entered into a "national database". When that persons name is ran it will come up that he has a warrant in a different state. When that agency decides they are willing to extradite that person (come get him) he is automatically held in jail until that agency comes and gets him and then will be transported to the state that has the active warrant to face those charges. It is almost impossible to serve warrants out of state. If they do not decide to come get him then that person usually is not detained unless the agency that pulls them over has charges on him. In the case that they do not come get him the warrant will remain active and if he ever goes back to Texas, he better be sure he isnt pulled over because if he is then he will go to jail. Sometimes it is not cost efficient to go get the individual, especially when they will have to pay to have him come back to TX. However, until he answers to those charges, the warrant will remain active.

Wait.  You're convicted of a misdemeanor in California, let's say.\n\nThen you go to Nevada, and you get stopped.\n\nWhy would California extradite you, since you're already convicted?  You realize that "convicted" means you're already found guilty, right?\n\nI'm guessing your question doesn't really ask what you want to know.  Wanna' take another stab at it?

Bud - In every state I know of, adult felony convictions remain a permanent part of your records.  Misdemeanor charges can be expunged after a number of years in some states for some charges.  But, if its a felony, its there for good.  GBY

Hello:\n\nIt stays there forever.  \n\nSure, she can file a motion for an expungment.  A letter to the court asking that they accept the letter as a motion ought to do the trick.  Make sure she send a copy to the prosecutor.  \n\nAn expungment just hides the record from the public, however.  If she wants to get rid of it althgether, she needs to file a motion for a pardon.  A pardon is gonna be harder to get, of course, and probably won't happen without an attorney.  But she has a shot at expungment, if she's been good. \n\nexcon

The warrant was issued to remedy the outstanding worthless checks and is normal proceeding. However, there are some vaibles you left out such as the total dollar ammount of the checks you gave to Wal Mart, and that ammount will determine the seriousness of the offense. Each state has a dollar ammount that divides misdemeanor crimes from felony crimes. \n     The fact that you didn't receive anything in the mail from Wal Mart is irrelevant since you knew the checks were worthless when you gave them to Wal Mart.      \n     Any person charged with a crime in the United States has the right to be represented by an attorney, even if they cannot afford one. The court will appoint an attorney to represent you at no cost to you should you be taken into custody. (Remember your Miranda Rights... "you have the right to remain silent.....")\n      In the mean time, you can contact your public defenders office and seek advice from them. Other resources include legal aide which is usually free advice and web sites such as megalaw.com and findlaw.com. Both have paid and free search engines that cover criminal and traffic laws, plus you can search case law to see what the trend for certain offenses has been in your state. You can also contact the Prosecuting/State's attorneys office direct and talk to them about the situation since they are the ones who represent crime victims and will be the attorneys you will have to face should you find yourself in a courtroom. \n      Finally, you can contact your district/magistrate court and and speak with them about making payment arrangements to take care of the outstanding debt. Some states offer probation before judgement which means they give you an opportunity to make the situation right without going to jail if you have a clean criminal history prior to this offense.\n      Remember, since there is a warrant for your arrest, any officer you come into contact with who runs your license will be made aware of the outstaning warrant. You'll place yourself in a much better light if you turn yourself in versus making the police come and find you.

Prosecution for a misdemeanor (note spelling) must begin within one year of the offense.  There might be a couple of exceptions here and there, but if there are I would imagine they would be rare and most likely not involve a misdemeanor traffic violation.\n\nGood of you to explain that it is a Los Angeles cop you're asking about, but it's the same rules throughout the state, so all you need to talk about is California law, not what an LA cop has to do.

'Any person convicted of ANY drug or other serious offenses who is put on probation, loses the legal right to refuse unreasonable, unwarranted, police searches. Judges routinely impose upon defendants convicted by guilty plea of drug or other crimes involving possession of illicit or stolen things, the condition that they voluntarily submit to a police search, without a warrant, any time of the day or night, in their homes, cars, or of their person, without probable cause. In Alameda County, California, this probation condition is known as a "four-way search clause" (search of person, home, car, or possessions).'\n\nsource: http://www.correspondences.org/archives/000411.html

I'm not a lawyer, but Federal Courts typically have jurisdiction over the whole USA.  Moving out of state will not even (automatically) excuse you from ordinary jury duty (personal experience on this), so I'm guessing it's probably more true with a Fed based issue.

It probably varies from state to state, but the two exceptions I know of are: (1) if you did jail time for something that was only a misdemeanor; not a felony and (2) if the crime was committed as a juvenile. I don't know if these hold in all states, however.
