It used to be a lot easer to get away with that but yes. Most cops in most states can radio in your license number or have a computer in their car that will tell if you have warrants in other states. Of course if your warrants aren't that big you may not be noticed unless a cop pulls you over for a speeding ticket or for some reason decides to run your license. The odds are you will get got sooner or later unless you remain squeaky clean don't do anything to attract attention of the law. Its probably best face the music and take care of it. Or move to Cuba or something.

Once they find you have a warrant they can arrest you and then the other state requests your extradition. You can fight it but unless you have serious warrants that you should fight all you do is delay the inevitable and you will still be in jail in the state your caught in.

if you have pending allegations of a felony drug charge, but were never arrested, rather you went to the hospital after a concerned family member called 911, and never exchanged information with police who show up, but they find a gram or two of drugs at the scene... only to be called by a detective 2 months later saying they have a warrant for an arrest, does this mean just that? THEY HAVE A WARRANT FOR AN ARREST? And on what grounds, if someone was never caught with the actual drugs, never arrested or informed... is this possible?

If the offense is extraditable, and the state files them with the Interstate Criminal Information System, yes.

If you have a misdemeanor warrant in one state if you move to another state will it follow you like if you got pulled over would the other state know?

Why are warrants for arrest in south Australia only valid in sa and not all other states in Australia?

Warrants for arrest issued in South Australia are only valid within the state because each state and territory in Australia has its own legal system and authorities. As a result, arrest warrants issued by one state may not hold authority in another state due to the jurisdictional boundaries and legal frameworks in place. This is to ensure that legal processes are followed according to the laws of each specific jurisdiction.

Can you fly out of the country if there is a warrant for your arrest in another state?

I did. I flew from OH to the Virgin Islands with no problem. Security did stop me and take me back to this room for a few minutes, then let me go. I am guessing they maybe saw the warrant when running my id and called to verify that it was not a warrant for extradition...then again, the stop could have been totally random. also, i have crossed into Mexico (driving) and back and been detained, but let go.


Is Hawaii a extradition state?

ALL US States will extradite (it's actually called Rendition) a person that commits a serious crime in their state, and flees to another state. If a person commits a crime in another state and flees to Hawai'i, the state where the crime was committed will request Hawai'i to return (render) them- and they will. Same for crimes committed in Hawai'i. Extradition is actually when someone flees to another country. Hawai'i is part of the US, of course.
