Extradition

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 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 WILLextradite for felony offenses.

All states and US possessions honor each other's extradition requests.

No. If you are being held by another jurisdiction for something else they do not have to rush there to extradite you.

Yes. It's done through INTERPOL.

yes.......

There is no time limit...Tennessee is doing a favor to Fulton County by holding the person and they can be held, by law, until Fulton County Sheriff's Office decides to extradite the individual so that the warrant can be served. Tennessee pretty much is out of the picture.

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.

Every country has no extradition treaties with the.

Yes if you get pulled over and have the same drivers lisenced that you did when the warrent when out for you in the first place it would show up to the officer stopping or arresting you after putting your ID number in. If you tried to get a new lisence in another state the D.O.T Department of transprotation would then know as well because either way that number would follow you around.

So you should get that warrant fixed.

ARTICLE I

Obligation to extradite

If it's a US state, then the laws are clear, as outlined in the Interstate Rendition Clause, one state MUST imprison and extradite a felon to the state in which he committed a crime, on request from that state.

The law you might be thinking of is extradition to a foreign country, as foreign relations would be handled on a federal level rather than dealing with the state itself.

You can google it yourself, but as far as I know, Puerto Rico pretty much IS part of the USA. It's a possession, and so forth, but US laws apply (or I guess you could say PR laws apply to the USA, either would be correct), for the most part. So I'm not sure there actually would be an "extradition". PR is part of the USA, so can you extradite from within your own boundaries?

wikipedia says:

"Extradition for fugitives who are charged with a crime is commonly requested by state or county prosecutors. Formal interstate rendition will involve both state governors. Other procedures can involve waiving documentary formalities before surrender of the fugitive. Under the Uniform Extradition Act adopted in 48 states, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands (but not in Mississippi and South Carolina), there is a distinction between fugitives who were in the demanding state at the time of the crime and those nonfugitives whose prior presence is not so alleged. The first type is mandatory under the United States Constitution. The less frequent second type allows for some Governor discretion. These cases can involve bad checks or failure to pay child support but they still must be criminal matters."

I am just too tired to do it, but my next move would be to google "Uniform Extradition Act" and possibly add " +"Puerto Rico" " to the query. But it looks like PR is on the same page as the USA. So we each get the bad guys we've spawned, pretty much. We get ours back, they get theirs back.

Moral of the story? Google "Uniform Extradition Act" BEFORE you do dumb stuff and have to run off. If you're gonna commit to a life that could get you behind bars for the rest of your life in some really nasty hellholes, a few minutes in the comfort of your home beforehand will mean a world of difference. THEN go out and do the dumb stuff and get caught or shot, which is the only way this stuff ever ends up.

All US states and territories honor each others Writs of Extraditon (also known as Governor's Warrants). There are no "safe haven" states.

Absolutely not. France has long maintained strong diplomatic relations, including a treaty of extradition, with the USA. If you're looking to escape for a crime committed, France is not the place. Sorry!

It there is an active extradition warrant for him he can be held until the legal system accomplishes the legal steps to remove him from the holding state to the extraditing state. It is not an overnight process. If you are held more than 60-90 days file a Writ of Habeus Corpus to determine the status of the process.

no its part of the us

For the complete treaty, please refer the link in sources.

Yes.

the governor of the original state formally/legally requests it.

The states of the United States can extradite only among themselves. One another country is involved, extradition becomes a federal matter that depends upon diplomatic relations, and bilateral [and sometimes multilateral] treaties.
