or do you think the state would not want to pay the "travel fees" over such a crime? or do you think it may be up to the judge?

In my 11 years of California law enforcement experience I can only remember one state that will sometimes extradite misdemeanors - Texas.
The extradition process can be long and costly and most states simply will not pay the money for a misdemeanor warrant. Where I work we look at it this way - If someone runs from their charges and goes to another state, they are no longer our problem. We lost a criminal and, because warrants don't go away, we ensure that if they ever come home we can put them in jail.

Ditto to James P. I too can only remember 1 misdemeanor that was extradited and the warrant was out of Texas. So, don't go to Texas and commit a crime; if your warrant is in Texas go ahead and take care of it (or wherever else it might be); and no most states won't extradite on a misdemeanor because of the expense involved....but they most certainly can! By the way, what is your address????? LOL

It depends on what it is. Most likely Kentucky has relations with other states in the region to say, suspend a driver's license, for a traffic violation. I am not sure about misdemeanor property theft.

No. And for many things, like New Hampshire, will usually not extradite beyond New England. Florida will not extradite from any state unless a heinous crime!
You could also be a fugitive, depending on the circumstances!
Get legal advice as states don't post who they will or will not extradite!

A lot of states have a reciprocity agreement between them. Also, if their probation department is active then they could submit a warrant for your arrest, default for not showing. That makes you arrestable in any state inthe U.S. From there if the state wishes, they could label it as an extraditable warrant and you would be transported via the sheriff's department or corrections dep't, depending on what kind of state you live in.

site visitors tickets, or similar violations quite do not upward thrust to point of seriousness to reason a bench warrant to be issued. in case you're stopped by police back in that state previously the statute of barriers runs out, it truly is going to take position in a "opt for and Warrants" verify and also you'll properly be arrested. perfect portion of do is to the contact the county clerk of the court docket the position the cost tag became issued. they're going to generally settle for charge of the elementary nice, it truly is all they quite needed besides.

I am sure you could be, but I also think they would look at the expense involved. Stay far away and better yet, contact an attorney. I don't think there is a statute of limitation if a warrent is issued.

Quit hiding and go and face your punishment. If its minor, you may just get a slap on the wrist. Why look over your shoulders forever?

I don't know. I do know however, if you don't face the music, the charges are going to keep piling up (failure to pay fines, failure to show up in court, failure to pay additional fines, failure to show up in court again....) and you are going to be digging yourself a deeper hole to climb out of.
