Why have extradition treaties?

Extradition treaties are increasingly important as a consequence of globalization and the increasing mobility of people. Crimes therefore frequently have an international dimension, and criminals will often attempt to flee into another country. Countries have a mutual interest in allowing (limited) extradition in order to be able to better serve justice. If criminals are allowed to escape punishment by moving to another country, this arguably is a threat to national security worldwide. There is also a human rights dimension to extradition. On the one hand, countries need to ensure that they do not extradite people into a country will they will likely be tortured or executed. On the other hand, a country might want to charge one of their citizens with a crime in order to have them extradited from such a country back home. This latter approach is sometimes employed to get back citizens if the government holding them is unwilling to simply release them.

Does NC extradite for misdemeanor charges?

To my knowledge there is no such thing as "Felony" or "Misdemeanor" probation violation. If you violate probation, you are in contempt of court, and have absconded from the imposition of a court ordered sentence, both of which can get you sent back to jail to serve your sentence for the conviction for which you were serving probation.

All US states and territories honor each other's requests for extradition - there are no 'safe-haven' states - it is impossible to say whether a particular state will choose to extradite you or not, there are simply too many variables. It may depend on the offense and the seriousness of it and/or how badly they want you returned - most states WILL extradite for felony offenses.

How long will Tennessee hold someone for extradition?

I was told by a local officer that TN will only hold an inmate for 72 hour before releasing them. They will only allow another state 72 hours to come pick you up no matter what state they are coming from. I don't think that's correct. My husband is awaiting extradition to Alabama as I type this. He has been sitting in jail since July the 9th. He has a courtdate for the extradition on July 15th. The officer that picked my husband up said Alabama had 10 days to pick him up and if they were not here in 10 days, they would let him go. Basically, I think it depends on the type of charge. And depending on the charge will depend on if they want to spend the money to come get you / him. I will just say from personal experience that when I was waiting for Jacksonville to come get me from Orlando Fl they made me wait 63 days to be extradited.Jacksonville had to call every 10 days to say they still wanted me.As long as they say they want you then you will sit there.The time you sit is usually credited towards you sentence.(Depends on the judge)Now when I had to wait for Florida to come get me from Tennnessee they got me on the 7th day but the extradition was miserable cuz they picked up other people and went through a bunch of states which was a 5 day trip shackled and handcuffed in the transport van.THat was the worst experience ever.My advice is if you can try not to get in trouble outside the city you live in.I found this out the hard way....:)

Will Washington extradite you back to Arizona on a misdemeanor warrant issued there?

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.

How long does a county have to extradite an inmate from one county to another?

The term EXTRADITION does not apply to intra-state (within state) prisoner transfers. Since the prisoner is within the same state in which they committed their crime, the laws of the state apply equally to both counties there are no legal ramifications to moving a wanted prisoner from one county to another. Usually it is more a matter of county-to-county coordination and the availablity of manpower. If you committed a state offense, initially you can legally be charged with that offense regardless of which county captured you.

Not enough information is disclosed. If it is a felonyDUI case - especially if it involves death or serious injury - yes, most probably.
