I recently moved from Maui, Hawaii, and where i was working had the register robbed at my kiosk and after not being able to catch the guy due to lack of cameras she told me that last year a guy was charged with assaulting an officer in Washington and they wouldn't extradite him for that and "you basically have to murder someone for hawaii to extradite you", those were the police womans words exactly!

All US states and territories honor each other's requests for extradition - there are no 'safe-haven' states - it is impossible to know with certainty whether a particular state will choose to extradite you or not, there are simply too many variables. It may depend on the offense and the seriousness of it and/or how badly they want you returned - most states WILLextradite for felony offenses.

Realistically, while it may seem doubtful, where the law is concerned, never say "never."
