Only two states, South Carolina (For Sure) and Montana (I think) are not members of the Interstate Compact, however, both states do have some provision for extradition in their laws.
If the warrant is in NCIC they will notify the warrant issuer. If the crime is not a felony or punishable by one year or in jail...YOU CAN NOT BE EXTRADITED. The Uniform Compant on extradition requires the crime to be a felony and or punishable by one year or more. That's it. That's the statue. All you pro-law enforcement types have to deal with it. Don't like it, get someone else elected who will change the compact and then get all of the member states to agree (GOOD LUCK). If it is a felony, then my advice would be to waive extradition. They stand about a 50/50 chance of coming. After about 20-30 days, if they haven't retrieved you, you will most likely get a bail or be released. BTW-Enjoy this only 48% of fugitives are actually extradited. The lower the charge and the higher the distance and the chances drop even more. There are a couple of companies out there TRANSCOR and MIDSTATE that offer cost alternatives to the sheriff coming to get you, but it still costs money. In the real world (THE ONE THAT MOST PRO LAW PEOPLE DON'T ACKNOWLEDGE) certain crimes are not worth punishing if it gets too expensive for the taxpayer.
In any case the answer to your question is not simple. You may not be extradited. Don't listen to anyone who tells you that you did the crime, do the time. These people are insensitive and self righteous. They don't understand what they are saying. They have been raised to be hateful and have bought the current conservative pro-law lie hook, line, and sinker. They are the first people to want mercy when they get in trouble. Also, very often, they want to feel better about themselves. They think that because they aren't breaking the law that they are somehow BETTER than people who do. They need to feel like they are productive members of society. These people tend to be angry, white, middle class, professionals, who don't have enough insight, education, or class to understand compassion and forgiveness. Ironically, these folks are often active Christians who purport to be forgiving.
Good luck.
PS: Anyone who wants to argue with what I've said has to realize that low level fugitives are not really sought by the police. They wait for them to turn up. If you are a fugitive and you want to turn yourself in and handle it, I encourage that. However, if you didn't really do anything heinous and want to go on with your life, just avoid police contact and you will likely be ok.

All states allow extradition... Depending on the crime and how far away you are from the state that it was commited in determines if you would be extradited... Say for instance you stole a car in Virginia and was caught in California.. Extradition would be rare, cause it would cost the state of Virginia more to extradite you than what the charge is worth... Now if it was murder, Yes they would extradite you in a heart beat... One thing to remember is that even if your in a state that won't extradite you for a small charge, doesn't mean that the charge goes away... It will stay with you until the staute of limitations run out...Usually 7yrs... A murder charge never runs out...

All states not only extradite but consider what is called issuing a Governors Warrant for the extradition of a person charged with a crime back to another state. Like others have said it usually depends on the seriousness of the crime as to whether or not the jurisdiction who has the warrant will authorize extradition from another state. Most index crimes (rape, robbery, murder etc) are 'worth' the cost of pursuing extradition from what I've seen during my 24 years on 'the job'. And I must correct one comment made by someone else, the statute of limitations only applies to signing the warrant. In other words, if you commit a crime with a statute of limitations of 7 years then the state has 7 years from the date of the crime to initiate criminal proceedings, i.e. issuance of a warrant of arrest. Once the warrant is issued it is ALWAYS good. Now if you are arrested on a warrant that is say 10 years old and the state can not show a diligent effort to attempt service of that warrant you might get the case tossed based on your right to a speedy trial. Nuff said...turn yourself in and have your day in court.

Gary McKinnon, also known as Solo, is a Scottish hacker facing extradition to the United States to face charges of perpetrating what has been described by one prosecutor as the "biggest military computer hack of all time." Following legal hearings in the UK it was decided in July 2006 that he should be extradited to the US. In February 2007 his lawyers argued against the ruling in an appeal to the High Court in London, which was turned down on April 3. On July 30, 2007 the House of Lords agreed to hear the appeal and on June 17, 2008 the Law Lords began hearing the case. This Judgment was delivered on July 30, 2008 with the Law Lords judging that Gary McKinnon could be extradited to the United States. He was given two weeks to appeal to the European Court of Human Rights before extradition, but the Court halted the extradition for an additional two weeks to allow time to hear his appeal on August 28, which was subsequently rejected. His legal team subsequently decided to lodge another appeal, which was granted, based on the fact that McKinnon has recently been diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome. His diagnosis was made in August 2008 by the eminent psychologist Prof Simon Baron-Cohen.

It is according to the charge. If it is a felony yes they will extradite Nationwide. Misdemeanor they will not extradite out of state that it happened in.
