Does Michigan have an extradition law with Missouri?

Question

If a person has a warrant in Missouri and they live in Michigan,
if they are pulled over or arrested in Michigan will Missouri be
notified?

Answer 1

That really depends. If the warrant is in NCIC they will notify Missouri. 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 maybe. 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.

Michigan Extradition Laws

Answer 3

Yes, Missouri and Michigan have extradition agreements. Most states--but not ALL states--have extradition agreements with most other states. (That's the Interstate Compact the other answerer's referring to.) If the crime's a felony with nationwide extradition, Missouri will be notified. Additionally, some warrants are entered with a NOAH (Notify Originating Agency of All Hits) on them. This means that even if the extradition limits don't extend to the state in which the person was detained, Missouri would still be notified. A misdemeanor warrant (say, most traffic violations) from Missouri would not show up on a computer check in Michigan. I think this answers your question adequately, and I see no reason to launch into a diatribe about extradition in general.

Pulled over, maybe, maybe not, depends on offence and how they present themselves. Arrested definately. All US States will extradite to all other US States on felony warrants. No one will on misdemeanors.
