Would anyone by chance know how far a state will travel for extradition?

Answer 1

The severity of the crime dictates the distance!!

Answer 2

It is all situational. I have had Colorado refuse to extradite a felony case that i had pulled over. In the same token, I had a city in Washington extradite a female for a fishing violation which completely shocked me. I was working in Washington and the fishing violation was at the other end of the state. The girl spent more time behind bars gettinbg to that county than she ever would have in any other situation. That is the bad thing about extradition. You go from jail to jail until you arrive. You don't get "picked up" by the county that has the warrant.

Answer 3

It depends on the jurisdiction and then the severity of the crime. I have seen Texas come to our agency (in Alabama) on a probation violation for DUI which is amazing. Our agency worked with INTERPOL once to get one picked up in Australia. And I believe one of your answers said each state is required to return a prisoner/subject wanted on a warrant. That is not necessarily true. Alabama had a warrant for.....I believe it was escape where the subject was sentenced for a serious felony.....anyway the defendant was located some years later in Detroit, Michigan and he fought extradition. Alabama's Governor issued a Governros warrant however, the State of Michigan refused the warrant and the individual was not made to come back. Those situations are few ad far between though and they are more often than not resolved and the defendant is sent back to the jurisdiction that has the warrant for arrest. Good luck with whatever it is your doing.

Answer 4

Some states won't bother, unless it is a first degree misdemeanor or worse. Don't let it fool you, though. If they don't come get you, they will most certainly put a "bench warrant" out for you, and if you ever get stopped, it will certainly add headache to the encounter.

Generally speaking, any state will extradite from ANY of the U.S. States, and Many, many countries as well. They actually hire bounty hunters or bail bonds to physically bring you back to the state in question, if they have to.

Answer 5

Relative to other places on Earth, States do not really travel at all.

Relative to the Sun, States travel a great distance.....etc.

A state will not travel for the purpose of extradition in any case whatsoever.


If you are referring to a state of the U.S.A.

Answer 6

Colorado extradited someone from Thailand in the Ramsey case and Bangkok is about as far away as you can get from Boulder. Turns out it was the wrong guy but you get the idea.

Answer 7

First, there's a lot to work out contained in the States. second, similar language is spoken, funds is an similar, utilising regulations are the same. third, no passports or correct papers are required. the reason of the international places, you stated is you'll locate someone who speaks English. And the nutrition has similarities. As to the necessary papers a lot less annoying to get, delivery from the States is direct and easily one flight

Answer 8

If you are referring to within the United States, a state is required to return to the original state a criminal who committed a crime in that original state.

In terms of nations, it will travel as far as it needs in order to secure the defendant, insofar as they determine the fugitive to be worth capturing.

Answer 9

remember it is not the state, it is the agency that has the warrant out for you, if it is the state police, it will be the state, but it can be the city or county that has to pay.

But it will depend on the crime, for some, they will bring you from anywhere, on others only a few hundred miles

Answer 10

Well they did go to Thailand for a pedophile this past summer, right?
