Most warrants do not hold outside of a state unless its a serious offense. But it should be 7 years I think its the same in all states
If you have a warrant you are subject to arrest at any time. You may not want to interact with the state until you have taken care of your warrant.
There is no statutory time limit on the service of a warrant. If the investiagtion is ongoing they may be holding off on it while they gather additional information on you or your contacts and crimes. OR - of course,. if you're avoiding the service of the warrant, you will not beat it by trying to outwait it.
If in another state has issued a warrant for an inmate, that inmate will be extradited to that state after he finishes his time in the state he is currently serving his sentence.
Whenever a non-bailable warrant is said to exist against a person, the police is duty bound to arrest and produce him in the court which issued the same. However when the question of interstate issues crop up, the accused is to be produced in the magistrate court within whose jurisdictioni he is found and then transferred to the court from which warrant was issued
Forget about why the warrant was issued: whenever a warrant is issued for someone's arrest it remains as such until the charges are answered (i.e., the warrant is served). That warrant is entered into the National Criminal Information Computer, or NCIC. If law-enforcement sees that warrant it will make an arrest and hold the person in jail. Next there is the issue of whether the issuing state is willing to extradite. The arresting state doesn't do the extradition, the issuing state does. So if that state wants the fugitive it will arrange to pick the fugitive up, if the charges are serious enough. If the state is not willing to extradite then the fugitive is freed-- for now: at any time the warrant is in effect and has not been served, the fugitive will continue to be arrested until eventually he is brought to justice.
California is a state that is an extraditing state. The state of California needs the demand from the state requesting extradition, the governors warrant, and probable cause. This process can take 1-3 months.
If you are being held for the delivery and service of a warrant, there is no statutory time limit on this. Only when you are returned to the jurisdiction that wants you will your "speedy trial" rights begin. Too bad and shame on you, that's what you get for running.
A specified time span will be indicated on the warrant or if not stated it is presumed to be the time span that is provided by existing jurisdictional laws.
Once the extradition process has begun it can take, as long as it takes. Both states have to satisfy certain procedures to legally remove you back to the state that wants you. There is no statutory time limit on this procedure, but if you are still being held after 90 days I would suggest filing a Writ of Habeus Corpus.
Once the arresting state has notified the warrant-issuing state, and the extradition process has begun, it can take as long as it takes. Once the action is in progress there is no statutory limit on the length of time. It is by no means a 24-48 hour process and may well take longer, especially if the arrestee fights extradition. If the arrestee is held for more than 90 days he can request a writ of HABEUS CORPUS.
Well, I believe that California was not yet a state at the time of the Civil War. So, in other words, California was neither.
In Washington State, a warrant for a DUI (Driving Under the Influence) does not have a specific expiration date; it remains active until it is served or recalled by the court. This means that law enforcement can execute the warrant at any time, regardless of how much time has passed since it was issued. It is important for individuals with an outstanding DUI warrant to address the issue promptly to avoid further legal complications.
