The term "extradition" applies only to situations where a person is in one state and wanted for a criminal offense in another state. Within the same state, people can be transported from one county to another to face charges with no court intervention. The only obstacle is that the jurisdiction that wants the prisoner has to be willing to fetch them from wherever they are. Some areas have private transportation services that move prisoners from one jail to another on a regular route and schedule.
One county within the same state will honor another county's arrest warrant and hold you until they come to transport you back to the county that wants you. The actual legal act defined as "extradition" doesn't come into play in INTRAstate removals. Extradition only applies to INTERstate removals.
Yes extradition happens all the time. Either from state to state or county to county.
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.
No. State are sovereign governments under the constitution, and one state cannot enter another state to retrieve a prisoner without permission from the state holding the prisoner. Counties are only political subdivisions within a state, and there are no such protections. A prisoner may be moved from one county to another within the same state with no court intervention or violation of rights.
EXTRADITION!

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.
No, a warrant issued by one jurisdiction in Georgia can be served anywhere in the state. BTW: Extradition only applies to out-of-state removals.
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.
extradition.
A Governor's Warrant is another name for an Extradition Warrant. You can choose to fight extradition back to the state that wants you, but it is unlikely you will stop the warrant from being issued.
That is the correct spelling of "intrastate" (within the same state).
