Will Washington extradite from Idaho?

All states extradite to all other states. Some wont extradite on some cases, but they are few and far between. If California asserts that they will extradite/accept the person back (and arrange the transportation), all states will cooperate with the extradition. You can try to run to a handful of other countries, but why not just get it behind you, and turn yourself in.

How many days does a state have to extradite someone?

As far as I'm aware there are no statutory timeframes for the process of extradition. As long as the legal process between the two states has begun and is progressing, then it takes as long as it takes. Lesson to be learned? When there is a warrant for you turn yourself in and then you won't be spending weeks in someone else's jail.

What is a waiver of extradition?

Example: you a charged with a crime in NC. You evaded arrest, so now there's an "outstanding warrant" for your arrest. You're in Iowa, you get pulled over and the cop runs your license, you'll pop on the warrant if the cop decides to do a detailed search, as oppose to just searching in Iowa; or if you're entered into the NCIC database, then it's a nation-wide warrant because now you're a "Wanted Person". Iowa, the arresting/sending state has to arrest you on your "out of county warrant". Iowa will then call NC and ask if they will come get you (extradite). If NC says no, then Iowa has to release you, because you are not charged with any crime in Iowa. If NC says yes, then Iowa must hold you, at the expense of NC, until they come get you. NC has 30 days to process their paperwork, to get a formal request for the demand of Iowa to surrender you over to face your charges in NC. This formal request is a Governor's request from NC for your return. However, you can also fight extradition base on legal grounds; such as, if the crime you're charge with in NC is not a crime in Iowa, you can request Iowa to deny extradition; or if the crime you are charged with carries a death penalty sentence in NC, but since Iowa does not practice capital punishment, you can request Iowa deny extradition base on that. Waiving extradition means you consent to be return from Iowa to NC. People usually choose to waive extradition because once waived, the requesting state has 10 days to come get you; as oppose to the 30 days for the formal request, or the months of trial when you fight extradition. Waiving extradition does not mean you are entering any plea or admitting to anything; it simple means you are willing to return to the state that wants you to face their charges.

Short Answer: If apprehended on a warrant and being held for extradition you can voluntarily choose to return (waive extradition) or you can choose to fight extradition in the court system of the state that apprehended you.

Can a person in minnesota jail be extradited to Wisconsin for child support?

Probably not. Extradition is the process used when a person is in custody in one jurisdiction, but has an active warrant in another jurisdiction. In most cases, child support is a civil matter, and therefore does not bring up the issue of warrants as in a criminal matter.

If, however, there is some reason that a warrant has been issued with regard to the child support issue, then yes, the person can be extradited. The Wisconsin authorities would be notified of the person's location, and would then determine whether or not the warrant merited the expense of going to pick up the defendant and transporting him/her back to Wisconsin.

What are the extradition laws for state to state extradition within the United States?

It depends on the charge and location where you are now and where the state that the warrant was issued. Some charges, if pulled over, etc in one state... and they run your license and it pulls up the warrant, they would go ahead and arrest you, but they then would contact the agency that issued the warrant. It then depends if that state "wanted" you or if they were not going to pursue the matter (i.e. cost them more to extradite/have a hearing than original charge). This isn't likely, but sometimes they do not worry about extradition. Either way, once arrested, the agency issuing the warrant must pick you up within 30 days, or you will be released. It all depends on the charge, whether it was state or federal (federal... automatic extradition), and the state which crime occurred and your current state. More information is at 18 U.S.C. § 3182.

Will California extradite from Wisconsin for a probation violation?

You've got it backwards. WI will extradite you from CA, not the other way around. The answer is, they could. It may well depend on the dollar amount of the theft. If it amounted to a felony crime, they probably will.

Will Arizona extradite you for felony gun possession?

It6 is VERY likely. Most all states WILL take action to extradite fugitives wanted for felony offenses.

Will Oklahoma extradite you for violation of probation in Oregon?

Yes. If you are in the interstate NCIC system as having a warrant, OR can pick you up and hold you for WA. All states and territories honor each others requests for extradition. NO, the previous answer is inaccurate. Last year, my boyfriend was arrested in Oregon, and had a warrant in Washington. He informed the officers of his warrant in Washington, and they told him that it does not matter, it is not relevant to them. They explained that Washington is one of the nine states (not sure which are the other eight) that chose NOT to give other states access to that kind of info. So Oregon and Washington do not have that kind of communication. In fact, this probably means that a warrant in Washington will not show up in ANY other state... HOWEVER, I'm sure that this is very different when applying to Felony warrants, as his warrant was for a misdemeanor. I've also heard that the court/law enforcement system has a 'boundary' between east coast and west coast states, and misdemeanor warrants do not show up in each others criminal record search... Although, that info is just word of mouth, so I wouldn't quote me on it. But it may be something to look into, if you're interested. Hope that answers your Q better. :-)

What all states extradite for child support?

All states will extradite for child support depending on the amount owed. Basically, if it's worth it for the state to do it they will. If it costs more to have you extradited than what you owe you are generally safe.

Added: Unless it amounts to a criminal warrant, there is no extradition for violation of child support orders - which is an order of the CIVIL court. HOWEVER - there are cooperative agreements in place among all states to enforce each others child support orders. Whatever state you happen to be in will enforce the original order just as if it was ordered by that state's court. You can't get away from it.

What are the extradition laws for extradition from Texas to kansas?

Yes, if you are accused of a crime in Texas, going to Oklahoma will not protect you. You may be arrested by Oklahoma police, Texas police, or even US Federal Marshals.

However, Texas, and the US in general have very fair courts, so unless you committed a crime in Texas, you have nothing to worry about. If you did, find a good criminal defense lawyer for legal advice as soon as possible. If you can't afford a lawyer, Texas will hire one for you as soon as they catch you--and they're very good at it.

Hope this helps.

What are the extradition laws for extradition from Texas to Virginia?

What states do not extradite to Arizona?

Any state will honor a Florida felony traffic warrant. The issue is whether Florida wants to come get the individual. If the issuing state has put out a warrant that is nationwide, any peace officer may arrest on that warrant. It is then up to the issuing state to make arrangements to have the arrestee transported to the place the individual is wanted. The arresting state makes no determination as to guilt or innocence. Generally the only question is whether the individual arrested is the same person named in the warrant. There can be a few other questions, but states honor each others warrants under the full faith and credit clause of the United States Constitution.

How long can Kentucky hold you in jail for extradition to Oregon?

Once the process has begun, it takes as long as it takes. It is nowhere near as easy as simply driving over the state line and picking them up. A formal inter-state legal and administrative process must be begun and followed in order to legally take custody of the defendant and remove them from one state to another. If you haven't heard anything in 30 days file a Writ of Habeus Corpus to determine where the process stands.
