Want this question answered?
Basically the laws of every state with regard to extradition are the same: if a person is arrested in the state from the one that issued the warrant, the person is taken to the county jail of that jurisdiction and awaits extradition to the County seeking the person. Normally an extradition hearing is held to determine whether the individual is in fact the one that is being held for extradition. The individual can admit he is such person being sought (he is not admitting guilt) or challenge this. The state is seeking the person generally has up to two weeks to arrange for the defendant to be transferred, or the defendant can be released.
There is no such thing as EXTRADITION between counties of the same state. They simply do a "courtesy hold" on you until the other county sends someone for you. Extradition is a legal term used when governments remove people from state to state or nation to nation.
Not necessarily. If the county holding the warrant could respond quickly, the jail having the prisoner in custody might just keep them in a waiting area until the officers from the other county arrived. When the prisoner was taken back to the county with the warrant, this would not be a "extradition." Extradition occurs only between states.
As long as extradition has begun and it is proceeding according to the orderly legal process of both states, there is no statutory requirement that it be accomplished within a certain timeframe. It takes as long as it takes.
You can ALWAYS be arrested for an ARREST warrant regardless of issuing agency or the arresting agency.Additional: There is widespread mis-understanding of the term "extradite." Extradition refers only to removing a person from one STATE to another STATE.If you are wanted on a warrant and are arrested in the same state the warrant was issued in, no extradition is involved - only a county-to-county transfer.
There is no time limit...Tennessee is doing a favor to Fulton County by holding the person and they can be held, by law, until Fulton County Sheriff's Office decides to extradite the individual so that the warrant can be served. Tennessee pretty much is out of the picture.
no Yes there is, I am facing one now
It's certainly one legal argument that you could try to fight extradition with.
Dubai will not extradite.
Extradition, sometimes known as a "Governor' s Warrant" is the legal process necessary to lawfully remove a wanted person from the state which apprehended him back to the state in which they are charged with the offense. Extradition ONLY applies when removing someone state to state. It does not apply when moving someone county to county within the SAME state.
the action of extraditing a person accused of convicted a crime!!! :))))
To prevent a person from escaping justice by fleeing the state.
