Is an Idaho Only or Extradite Idaho Only bench warrant really what it sounds like?

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?


What does alias writ of arrest mean?

A writ is the name for any order from a court directing someone to do something. A writ of arrest is a warrant, meaning that the person named in the writ is suspected of committing a crime and there is reasonable cause to detain him or her on that suspicion. An alias warrant means it is the second or subsequent warrant issued in the same case and no plea has been entered in the proceeding. Alias warrants are used in other circumstances, but are common in cases where the warrant is issued due to the named defendant failing to appear in court on the original charge.


Is there a statute of limitations on misdemeanors gone to warrant?

A 'statute of limitations' is the time limit in which the authorities have after the committing of the crime, to begin prosecution procedings. If a warrant has been issued, then that could mean one of two things: - Prosecution has begun, and a bench warrant was issued due to a failure to appear at court. This warrant NEVER expires. It can only be cancelled. - If the crime was committed, an arrest warrant was issued for a suspect at large. Typically the time limit would be frozen during the time the suspect is on the run. A valid case of the statute expiring would be if the crime was committed but no one knew about it for X amount of years, or no suspect was identified. But there's no way to escape from the procedings once started.
