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?
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.
Usually not in Texas, but have a better likelihood in Oregon or Idaho. But most often they will not extradite you even if you are in a neighboring county. I would take care of your warrant, because with the new flying disclosure law of names and birth dates they have been picking up more warrants out of the airport. So you may want to take care of the warrant so when you go on a vacation out of the country you are not arrested upon entry. Also See Discussion Page:
Individual US states cannot extradite from foreign nations. If they wish the subject brought back the state must request the US State Department or US Dept. of Justice to request that action of the other country. However, they can place a warrant 'on file' for you and if/when you return to the US you can be arrested.
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.
Yes.

Warrants do not have any time limitation. You will be arrested anytime you are found.

In this day and age of budget crunches, it may seem unlikely - BUT - where the law is concerned, never say "never!" 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.
All states and territories honor each other's requests for extradition. Any state can legally extradite you for any offense. There is no way to make generalizations as to what a state might, or might not, do.
nobody can answer that question for absolute certain,. i think that it mostly depends on how much of a chubby that Idaho has for you. if you were the biggest pain in the ars that the law has been trying to prove a point to ,or you rubbed the wrong official the wrong way one too many times i suppose that Idaho could do whatever the heck want to prove to you that you are theirs.
