'Extradition' is a term describing the legal process by which a wanted individual is removed from the apprehending jurisdiction to face legal action for offenses he committed in another jurisdiction.

Generally, states do not extradite over misdemeanors. The process of extradition is cumbersome and costly to say the least. Not only that, but the logistics are something to take into account: Will Georgia send someone to the state the fugitive is residing in and take the fugitive into custody and fly him/her back to Georgia? Will they do all of that over a misdemeanor? I doubt it, but it is possible. I think the taxpayers wouldn't be too happy if they knew they spent thousands of dollars on retrieving a fugitive from another state over a misdemeanor. The cost increases the further the fugitive is away from Georgia. Someone from Georgia has to physically come over to whatever state you are in and bring you into custody.
However, if you are wanted on a misdemeanor warrant for violating your probation, the case is much different, since when you sign the documents in court for probation, you agree to several rules and one of them is you agree to waive all extradition if you decide to run to another state. That means if you skip your probation and go to Colorado, for example, the state of Georgia won't have to go through the process of extradition. They would simply fly you back without any red tape getting in the way.

Does roratonga have an extradition treaty with the us?
Rorotanga is part of the Cook Islands which are an independent, self-governing group of islands located in the South Pacific. It is the the largest island in the group, and the one on which the capital city is located.
It appears that, even though they are 'self-governing,' the Cook Islands are a sub-division, or protectorate, of New Zealand -- and have much the same relationship with New Zealand that Singapore and Hong Kong have with The People's Republic of China. From that association it can be deduced that since New Zealand has extradition treaties with the US, in all likelihood, the Cook Islands DO also.
I believe that the only restriction would be (like most British Commonwealth nations) they will not allow extradition back to the US to face a death penalty.

Once the arresting state has notified the warrant-issuing state, and the extradition process has begun, it can take as long as it takes. Once the action is in progress there is no statutory limit on the length of time. It is by no means a 24-48 hour process and may well take longer, especially if the arrestee fights extradition. If the arrestee is held for more than 90 days he can request a writ of HABEUS CORPUS.
