If you get a job out of the state that you have a warrant in can they arrest you?

Answer 1

if you have a warrant the police can arrest you regardless of where you are best bet is to call the department that has the warrant and try to come to a conclusion on how to solve the warrant before they do arrest you and it is on their terms

Answer 2

Yes. When a warrant is issued the court decides how far away the warrant can be served. A felony warrant might be valid in any state, a parking ticket warrant might only be valid in the city where it is issued. It's all about how badly the judge wants to see you.

Answer 3

If your criminal record shows this warrant I question the fact that you would even be able to obtain employment. Would YOU hire a known wanted criminal? I suggest that you make an effort to address your legal troubles because this will follow you around for probably the rest of your life.

Answer 4

Sure: arrest warrants are valid in all states. But the real question is whether the state that issued the warrant will extradite. When a person is arrested on an out-of-state warrant it has about four to ten days, depending on the laws of the arresting state, to arrange for extradition or the arrestee is released. Oftentimes when this happens a person can even be rearrested the next time he makes contact with police.

Answer 5

When an arrest warrant is reviewed by the prosecutor, the prosecutor will also decide whether extradition is authorized. Extradition may be authorized in all cases, or in limited form (e.g. - authorized from adjoining states only.)

If extradition is authorized from the state in which the person is arrested, then the subject of the warrant can be arrested in that state.

For example, a Connecticut warrant might specificy "extradition authorized from NY, MA, and RI only." If the person named in the warrant is stopped in California, the police would likely notify Connecticut that their wanted person was contacted, but the person would not be arrested on that warrant. If the same person was stopped in New York, the police would arrest and hold that person as a "fugitive from justice." The arrested person can either waive extradition (which means they choose not to fight extradition) or they can have a hearing. Any time that person spends in a New York jail while their extradition is being settled is considered "bad time" and will not count toward their sentence if they are convicted.

Answer 6

Most any job these days, conducts a background investigation of your criminal history (if any) it is a virtual certainty that any such check will reveal the outstanding warrants.

Answer 7

Yes. Law enforcement can arrest you anywhere, anytime they discovere that you are a fugitive wanted on a warrant.

Answer 8

You probably won't be able to get a job if you have a warrant if they pull your criminal history or do a criminal background check. However, if they don't, you should be able to get a job.
