If you are located in an adjoining state, it is possible. 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 for a particular offense, or not, there are simply too many variables. It may depend, in part, on the offense and the seriousness of it, and/or how badly they want you returned - most states WILL extradite for felony offenses and crimes of violence.
No
Yes, but it may depend on what charge the bench warrant was issued for, and whether the state will extradite for the offense or not.
A bench warrant is a bench warrant whether it is issued by a criminal court judge or a civil court judge.
Not enough info to answer. What kind of bench warrant? Felony? Misdemeanaor? Traffic? If a warrant appears on the National Crime Information Computer system, you will be taken into custody and FL will check with KS to see if KS wants to extradite you. All US states and territories honor each other's requests for extradition..
reason for bench warrant?
is a bench warrant a felony
Bench warrants are generally issued for violations of state law. A person may be arrested on a bench warrant in any part of the state where it is issued, or even in another state is the issuing state is willing to extradite the offender.
My "friend" has a bench warrant in Idaho for a felony probation violation. On the state issued, mailed copy of the warrant paperwork, it reads "Idaho Only" or "Extradite Idaho Only" (something to that effect, my apologies, I only caught a glimpse of it). Does this really mean that if she moves to a southern state (Mississippi, Alabama or Georgia) that even if she got stopped for a traffic violation or somehow attracted the attention of the police, that Idaho wouldn't waste the money to extradite her from there back? And also, will she be able to get a driver's license issued in her new resident state?
A bench warrant is a warrant for the arrest/apprehension of the person named. It is referred to as a "bench warrant" because the judge presiding over the case in which the individual is involved is the one who issues the warrant.
Also known as the recalling of a warrant, this is an order which cancels the bench warrant that was issued.
It is very likely that a bench warrant will show up in a background check. A bench warrant shows a poor level of responsibility.
YES......Article 4, Section 2 of the US Constitution requires extradition for ALL crimes on the demand of the executive authority of the state in which the crime was committed. There are no safe haven states,bench warrants are valid in all 50 states. However the state holding the bench warrant can decide not to extradite the person if the crime is of a minor offense,such as California may decide not to extradite a person in Maine who had a bench warrant issued for failing to appear in California court for a minor traffic violation,petty theft,shoplifting,unpaid tickets or fines. Extradition can be exspensive just in travel cost and manpower and must be paid for by the state requesting extradition.
