Okay so here's the situation, say someone got in troublein FL, a 3rd degree felony but was released on their own recontinance(sp), their charge was dropped but suppossedly a new charge was issued & a warrant for arrest. This person since has left state to Michigan & is living the clean life & doing very well. They have gotten a drivers liscense & established residency & employment & nothing has been brought up to this date, it has been almost 2 years since the arrest in FL. Question is do you think this person could get in trouble in the future? Theyhave never been in ANY trouble up to the arrest in FL & havnt been in any since nor do they plan to participate in any activites that would put them in trouble. But they still worry as to say they got pulled over for a traffic violation per say, do you think they will be in danger of being expidited? PLEASE this person is very fearfull of this even though all seems to be going smoothly. Were not aware of new charge before they left FL.

First of all, it's not expidite. That means to hurry something up.
I think you mean extradition. When one state has another state transfer a person from their holding/court to their court.
Also, that statute of limitations does not apply. A statute of limitations is based on 2 things, the time you have to file a warrent, and the time you have to serve it. If you leave the state it puts the time you have to serve it on hold. Therefore, as long as you remain out of state, the warrent stays active.
As 2 the new charge:
The main consideration is the crime and how serious it is. If you murder someone (even for the first time and you live a good life since) you should not expect to live worry free. If you are talking about a misdemeanor traffic or some other simple charge, the state is not going to go to the expense of expediting you.
If it is a felony, it would depend on how severe it was and how badly the other state wants you.
If you want a safe way to check it out, I would recommend getting a one time email address, them emailing the court with the inquiry about how you can resolve this situation and clear up this warrent/case. Otherwise your "friend" will always be looking over their shoulder. Also how do you know your "friend" has only been in trouble this one time? Because they told you? What if they have been arrested a dozen times and just chose not to tell you about the other 11. You are walking a dangerous line....

If the statute of limitations s not up, and the warrant is still active, then sure, a traffic stop could result in extradition to Florida.
If it was a felony offense then probly will happen.

If the warrant is on the computer it will come back with a hit. I would depend on Florida if they decided it was worth it to pick the subject up and bring him back to Florida to stand trial. Law enforcement agencies usually have extradition conditions when they place the warrant on the computer. If it is something petty most want go across country for the pick-up. If he is within say 200 miles they may come to pick him up.

Be aware that any vehicle listed under your name will bring up any active warrants. Police departments are becoming more technologically advanced, and many have the ability to run license plate checks from a laptop in the vehicle. Depending on how advanced your departments are, they may have this capability... which would enable them to run random plate checks for outstanding warrants to the registered owner, as well as other motor vehicle matters.

yes ,, i live in michigan,, but thats not important,, if a warrant is still active within the US,, no matter what state,, you can be aprehended and made accoutable for the warrant , if it was done in error,, well still that will have to be cleared up.. but yes they will send you back to fla and let their authorities take it from there,, while in fla ,,,make sure it gets rectified, or this will happen in any state you travel through if you are pulled over,, make sure you get a copy of release of warrant, so you have proof , if you travel back to michigan and get pulled over. cover your own AS* first
