Extradition

That is correct. As long as the legal process has been set in motion, "it takes, as long as it takes." That being said, if you are still incarcerated after 30-45 days file a Writ of Habeus Corpus to see where the process stands. ALSO - the term "extradition" does not apply to in-state holds. Extradition only applies to inter-state or inter-nation transfers.

I recently moved from Maui, Hawaii, and where i was working had the register robbed at my kiosk and after not being able to catch the guy due to lack of cameras she told me that last year a guy was charged with assaulting an officer in Washington and they wouldn't extradite him for that and "you basically have to murder someone for hawaii to extradite you", those were the police womans words exactly!

Yes if they want to spend the time and money to pick you up.

If you are picked up on warrants and held as a fugitive the apprehending state notifies the state that wants you. If that state still wants you they will initiate action to secure a Governor's Warrant (more commonly known as a Warrant of Eextradition. THEN - the legal process between the two states begins to arrange your release from the apprehending state and them turning you over to the custody of the 'wanting' state. If the state that put the warrant out for you no longer wants you back, they will notify the apprehending state and the state holding you will release you, unless they happen to want you for some offense that you committed in THEIR state. All this legal administratove process takes time.

SOME states MAY release you on a Writ of Habeus Corpus after a certain time has elapsed, but the questioner would have to determine if there is such an option in the state that is holding them. Other than that possible exception, as far as I'm aware there are no statutory timeframe for the process of extradition. As long as the legal process between the two states has begun and is in progress, then it can take as long as it takes.

The extradition process DOES take longer if the fugitive is fighting their extradition.

Lesson to be learned? When there is a warrant out for you turn yourself in and then you won't be spending wasted time in someone else's jail.

No. A lack of an extradition treaty may be one of the side effects of a lack of diplomatic relations, or of the existence of poor diplomatic relations, between two countries. It also may be a side effect of a perceived lack of equivalency between the legal standards of two countries. And it also may be a side effect of different interpretations by different countries as to the nature of criminal justice and the penal system. For important concerns that need to be worked out before any extradition treaty can be finalized are the abolition of the death penalty, the avoidance of double jeopardy and of torture, the establishment of probable cause, the right to a fair trial, the role of nationals, and the ticking away of any statutes of limitations.

Not necessarily. If the county holding the warrant could respond quickly, the jail having the prisoner in custody might just keep them in a waiting area until the officers from the other county arrived. When the prisoner was taken back to the county with the warrant, this would not be a "extradition." Extradition occurs only between states.

No. "Quashed" means invalidated. If a warrant is invalidated it cannot be used in an arrest.

If the person being held does not "waive" extradition it will take longer because of the detaining state having to hold an extradition hearing to satisfy their law that the extradition is being done 'legally.' There ARE legal pprocedures that must be followed and adhered to (i.e.- filing of papers - court hearing - arranging transportation, etc, etc) A 'reasonable' length of time by the jurisdiction issuing the warrant is expected. However it will seldom be as short as 24 hours, or even a week, but it should not take up to months either. If the delay seems unreasonably long a writ demanding action, or release can be filed with the detaining jurisdiction.

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 for a particular offense, or not, there are simply too many variables. It may depend, in part, on the offense and the seriousness of it, and/or how badly they want you returned - most states WILL extradite for felony offenses and crimes of violence.

no because they are from pakistan

no extradition

If you are under the jurisdiction of the dept of corrections and you have a warrant they will extradite i have been flown back from Alaska 3 times and Hawaii once and i went to a hearing and i was released within 30 days. a complete joke when all that would have needed to be done is get an interstate compact. and transfer my probation to Alaska. i was on probation for vandalism and theft. look up the offender accountability act

Yes, as long as certain legal standards are met. As with the other 48 states within the United States of America, Oregon and Michigan tend to respect, and cooperate with, each other, and other states, over extradition requests. For such requests tend to be made over the serious, felony charges. But if a country other than the U.S. takes a role, then neither Oregon and Michigan nor the other 48 states participate in the decisionmaking. For involvement of a country other than the U.S. always is cause for the federal government to act.

All US states and territories honr each other's requests for extradition.

Bill Clinton signed an updated extradition treaty with Barbados in 1996, but there had been an extradition treaty since the 1930's between the U.S. and Britain, which covered Barbados.

No, you don't get a choice. The decision to extradite or not rests with the courts in the country where you have been apprehended. Depending on the country, you may or may not be allowed to present your case to the court before that decision is made.

Write sentences the way you speak - just pretend you are telling this to a friend, and write down what you would say. What would you tell them about this topic? Look up some facts! How would you explain the death penalty to your friend? What reasons would you give for reinstating it where you live?

They have repository agreements for that issue. They all will for criminal issues. The statute of limitations shuts off while you are gone also. Roman Polanski just found that out. It is pointless to run these days. IT makes any issue MUCH worse.

Yes you can; it is usually enough to have an arrest warrant issued to be extradited.

No. There aren't any states which flat out won't extradite - the only thing which varies between states is what they're willing to extradite for.

You could file it immediately if you wish, nothing is stopping you.

But the court will probably not entertain it until a 'reasonable' time has passed for the extraditing state to process the paperwork and initiate the legal process to have you returned.

You could probably speed up the process by waiving the process of extradition.

If you're currently being held awaiting extradition, ask to consult with a public defender for advice.

yes, you can be extradited to another state for proscution, then you will be sent back to the original state to serve out the sentence, then if by chance the death penalty was revoked you will still have to serve the full sentence due to the charges against you in the extradited state.
