Oh, dude, if you're on misdemeanor probation in Idaho and you decide to peace out to California, there's a chance Idaho might want you back. Extradition laws vary, so it's possible they could come knocking on Cali's door like, "Hey, can we have our probation violator back, please?" So, like, be prepared for that possibility if you're thinking of pulling a disappearing act.
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.
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?

Idaho is closer to California.
Realistically, in the budget crunch that all states are undergoing these days, they MAY not want to bother with bringing you back for this misdemeanor offense.HOWEVER - that being said - it cannot be 100% ruled out (especially if your case has drawn noteriety and public attention).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.

Yes. Idaho & California would be considered a compact state.
