Does get on your hands and knees and put your hands behind your head mean you have a felony?
No, it means that the police are concerned and are taking steps to control the person and situation.
You're taking your chances. If the bench warrant has been entered into the NCIC computer and if the jail routinely checks the names of those visiting inmates through their database .... you do the math.
Example of ignorance ot the law excuses no one?
It has always been a fundamental principle of the law that "ignorance of law is no excuse". However in recognition of the enormous increase in the number of laws that have been created since this principle was first enunciated, an exception to this rule was enunciated by a minority concurring decision of a judge of the Supreme Court of Canada in the 1995 case of R. v. Jorgensen.1 In this case, Chief Justice Antonio Lamer proposed an exception to the rule called "officially induced error". In doing so, he reasoned that While knowledge of the law is to be encouraged, it is certainly reasonable for someone to have assumed he knows the law after consulting a representative of the state acting in a capacity which makes him [an] expert of that particular subject.2 After reviewing the commentary of legal scholars, American court
cases and some lower level Canadian court cases, the Chief Justice set out six elements to be established by an accused person in order to establish a defence or excuse of officially induced error.
These elements are as follows:
1. The accused made an error of law or an error of mixed law and fact3;
2. The accused considered the legal consequences of his or her actions before
committing the prohibited act;
3. The accused obtained advice from an appropriate official, such as a government
official involved in the administration of the law in question;
4. The advice received was on its face reasonable;
5. The advice received was erroneous; and
6. The accused relied upon the erroneous advice in committing the prohibited act.
Under Justice Lamar's proposed test, if all six elements were clearly established, the
accused would be excused from committing the offence in spite of its wrongfulness and a judicial stay of proceedings would be entered.

Will Georgia extradite to Alabama on a federal misdemeanor warrANT for traffic?
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, or for what offense - 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.

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.
