Extradition for Misdemeanors

[Utopmk]

Say, someone commits a crime or two in a different state, let's say 1000 miles from where they live, and they are misdemeanors and that person skips court. What is the liklihood that if detained that extradition back to that state would occur? Especially if someone is released from jail instead of skipping bond? What is the worst consequence?

Somehow that was reassuring for my uhhh.. friend. :devil:

This is if they even register in NCIC, or if NCIC is even ran. ... my friend... was confident enough to think it would be ok based on the fact that some in state counties won't even pick from other counties for misdemeanor offenses and some states don't even pick up for felonies. Just wanted to know the law.

They can, if they wish. The boyfriend's sister had to go to another state to pay a 20 year old trafic fine or risk being arrested if she went through ANY state which communicated at all with the state she got the ticket in.

It might honestly follow you worse for jobs than if you get pulled over or something.

That was in the days of Law West of the Pecos, boy. They done got compooters nowadays.

Tell your *friend* to hand himself in now and bite the bullet.

You're either kidding, or you're a self rightous, insensitive bastard. There are plenty of your kind though. I was in doubt that they'd spend more money extraditing than the case is worth, and everyone knows it's $. Well, some people still actually believe law enforcment are there to keep peace and befriend them. None that I can think of being worth trying to convince otherwise, though.

I wouldn't put it past a mod here to do a ip trace and call the cops, but obviously not terribly worried, as I can not be fucked with.

<_<

Why do people enjoy provoking me?

More procedure. And he's right. Unless you are going underground, good time to just pay the man. Extortion doesn't work unless they use force on those that don't pay up.

Subtract the morality factor, and what the right thing to do is. They have been waived. He hardly had anything useful to say in response to my question, and the comments were ignorant. Meshou's comments appreciated, but aside from that I will just consult a lawyer, and maybe a legal forum.

My fault, but people here have usually been empathetic and helpful... Now I might as well be posting on a right-wing, pro law enforcment, christian mother's against crime forum, because I'm definatley not posting on a free-thinking forum anymore.


Crime doesn't pay, I know, but most of the time the criminal justice system isn't interested in reforming, but instead hanging the offender in all ways.. Incompetents... why surrender to those?

In the new world, things will be different.

the worst consequence IS extradition back to that state, but in all honesty i think the person in question would be running a 50/50 chance that the arresting cops would even find out about the previous offences, depending on the offence picked up for. cops really aren't that bright, and they don't look too deep if you're caught for something minor.

I'm guessing if the offenses were minor and no one with power is P.O.ed they probably wouldn't bother. Prolly just issue a bench warrant and if you happened to get pulled over in that state, they'd drag you in. But honestly, just like everyone else, I'm just guessing.

Great drama and all, but you certainly are projecting plenty well there.

Yes, they will come for you anytime they see your name cross any of the registers that they maintain.

Are you likely to get thrown out of state? Depends on what the register says. What the charge/ect was. No matter how small, if you willfully did not do what the law bound you to do, you will be dragged to jail and held until you have paid any outstanding liens against you. And you will be charged something extra.

Can you be thrown out of a state? Probably not.

You have to find out where the warrant was issued, and what kind of warrant it was. Some warrants are only sent statewide, or to a certain set of states. Like out here in Nevada, they sometimes issue a western states warrant, which only goes out to, well, western states. Not all warrants are issued nationwide. I know people who have had felony charges in one state but, when pulled over in another state, they weren't arrested. I think in the case of misdemeanors, the chance is pretty low that you have a warrant out in all states. An attorney could answer this better, as could anyone you happen to know in law enforcement.

Here a a couple of answers from another forum:


Extradition is not likely o a minor charge, most likely little to nothing will happen. But if not taken care of, you have two chances of having issues. The first if you are in said state and get your license ran for any reason. The second is if the databases from both states get linked.

The odd of both of the above event is getting greater all the time because of security. In the event you are caught after the fact realise that it will not be as easy as it would have been had it been dealt with.

Oh, and one more... Any good background check done on you for what ever reason. Employers are doing this more now days. It is very common in my line of work.

And a police lieutenant adds:


A very good answer. I frequently hear officers run a NCIC check on someone and find that they are wanted on misdemeanor charges and the extradition comments are "in-state only" and sometimes "surrounding states only". I have seen a few states (mostly Western U.S. states such as Texas and Colorado) where it was stated "unlimited extradition" on a misdemeanor charge.

If you don't do anything about this now it'll jump up and bite you in the arse in a few years time. You mark my words.

The judge may be pissed, as this person was arrested on a similar offense in the same state and had a bench warrant already. Originally, the arraignment judge said No O.R. and that the person detained would not be released until court. Was detained 16 days, and out of nowhere was a court order release with bond completley dropped in compliance with pre-trial services. This person was assured probation, but it has been said that a warrant is better than a Probation Violation, and that makes sense, and there is no conviction yet.

The witness/victim was ready to be hostile and ask that the charges be dropped, and they still plan to do so, but I don't see anyone dropping a charge if the defendent doesn't show up to court.
