How Far To Extradite A Wanted Person

How long does it take for a prisoner to be extradited to another state?

Depends on the state and how bad they want you best believe Texas is coming for you anywhere. I believe they have the right up to two years yet let’s say you get bonded out on a charge you picked up in Texas and your excitingly waiting to be released only to wonder why the hell you haven’t been yet, BOOM you have a hold on you from another county or state from my experience there is a 24 hour to 3 day to week time limit for them to come pick you up and this is the part you pray hard at as long as they don’t come get you and you are being favored by the Lord I’ve seen people even get their charge dismissed because of this and even taken off of parole CRAZY

What does waiving extradition mean?

When a person charged and wanted in one jurisdiction on an outstanding arrest warrant absconds to another jurisdiction, whether between U.S. States under the Extradition Clause of the United States Constitution (Canada has “Canada-wide warrants” under s.703(1) of the Criminal Code for when law enforcement suspects the wanted person has absconded to another Province) or under the Treaty on Extradition Between the Government of Canada and the Government of the United States of America, there is an additional step involved, which essentially is the legal process whereby the jurisdiction wherein the accused is found is handed back to the jurisdiction which wants the accused. Often the wanted individual is accused in several jurisdictions, and who gets the accused first becomes a legal issue.“Waiving extradition” is a colloquialism referring to the accused formally seeking to divest himself or herself of his or her rights to constitutional and other legal protections under these laws. Dumb, stupid move for any criminal to prejudice his defense with, but sometimes such waivers are used as tactics in a strategic attempt on the part of the criminal to secure leniency.

If someone has a bench warrant in one state, could that person be arrested in another state for that same bench warrant?

I have read almost all of these answers. I am originally from Indiana, and the state places a rider on all their misdemeanor warrants that it is enforcable only within state boundaries. Now, I seen almost all of the answers her are from people with law enforcment back grounds. Not to upset anyone but police officers do not spend the time and money attorneys do on an education. When there is a rider on the warrent it is placing a legal jurisdiction or enforcement on that warrent. And that warrent is then only a legal document in the boundaries of jurisdiction of that document. Outside of that it is worthless, nothing more than toilet paper. So it is my understanding that it you are out of jurisdiction of the warrent as stated on the warrent (which at the time the officer runs a check it is stated there it) and arrest you only on the basis of that warrant then they have commited a legal kidnapping and have falsely arrested you due to the fact the officer already knows the jurisdiction of the warrent and what the intent of the issueing court is on the extradition. So yes you should take care of the warrent as soon as you can, but understand that if you are checked and you are in fact outside the limits of the warrent. It is no longer a legal document and can not be enforced at any cost just like a city police officer had NO jurisdiction in another city that is not within his state. In fact if that police office from NV came to my state of Florida and tried to use his badge in a official capacity he would be arrested for impersonating an office. If the law is like that for the jurisdiction of a person what do you think they would be for a pirce of paper. And remember to alway demand (not ask) to see the warrent and to read it completely before you sign it. Some jails have been known to pass off the warrent as extradition papers just to get you to sign the warrant. Sorry to any law enforcement officer i may have upset.

What kind of warrants are extraditable across state lines?

There is a common belief that only felony warrants merit extradition. This is not true.It is possible to extradite someone on any arrest warrant. The biggest deciding factor is whether the agency holding the warrant is willing to go to the expense of bringing you back.Any warrant entered into NCIC has to be extraditable. Otherwise, there is no need to enter the warrant into a national system. Even so, the agency holding the warrant can put limits on how far they will go to extradite. They might say “contiguous states only,” so only those bordering the state where the warrant resides are eligible. They might also say, “northeastern states,” “southwest states,” or “only west of the Mississippi River.” If you’re the subject of the warrant and you’re stopped in a state not covered by the limits, you won’t be arrested on that warrant.I know of a municipal court in Nevada that would extradite from neighboring states on charges of domestic violence and DUI. It was very common for tourists from California to get busted for DUI in Nevada, then head back to California when they bailed out, never to return. The municipal court put those warrants on NCIC for neighboring states, and when an arrest was made, would send a city marshal in a squad car to fetch them back. The defendant would have the costs of his extradition added to any outstanding fine amount.
