Most Oregonians are afraid of California. With - IMNSHO - good reason. Them folks is weird.

Same thing happens on cruises. You leave Florida and they know when you will be back, gives them 5 or 7 days to arrange your welcome home party.

Moral of the story is get it taken care of, or you are always at some risk.

hey
 

did you ever take that flight hope you respond

Most people picked up at the airport for a warrant are stopped for something else. Making an idiot of one’s self by having illicit drugs in their possession, a weapon, ammunition, or general asinine behavior will be cause for a LEO response to the checkpoint. The LEO’s will normally run an NCIC check on the individual in question and a federal warrant will normally be reason to detain someone. But I agree with Often1, take the time to get the problem worked out legally. With that over your head you will never know when you will get stopped for some small thing and then get to spend some time in jail because of the warrant.

I make the decision, sometimes, whether we will extradite from wherever on our warrant.

The decisions I make are based mainly on cost to extradite (it's about $1/mile) and seriousness of the offense. Sometimes, if you've skipped bail, the bondsman will pay us to extradite. That happens a lot. On other occasions, I have seen the DA pay for an expensive extradition (from Illinois to Louisiana) for a handful of misdemeanors. The people we work for, and make decisions on behalf of, are mainly elected. You always have to think "what if this becomes a news story?"

I reiterate the advice above. Get a lawyer and get it fixed. Any interaction with any LE official (which I hasten to add the TSA are NOT!) will likely result in an NCIC check. An NCIC check may result in arrest and extradition. Getting extradited from anywhere to anywhere will involve spending time in jail, maybe a few days, maybe even a few months. Jail sucks.

everyone says take care of the warrant
 

Everone is saying take care of the warrant well guess what guys that involves flying back to said jurisdiction that wont extradite and getting arrested soooo really its a mute point maybe you get pinched maybe you dont. Either way they're going to let you board the plane because once a warrant were discovered at the terminal the issui g agency would be contacted and deny extradition then at most wait at terminal and pick up on receiving end . So in a way to fly would be to take care of warrant .

problem with a statute of limitations is that it applies to untried cases. This is a tried case he was sentenced on. The sentence being probation. So the warrant would be for violation of probation and absconding. Also it depends on what state your in as to whether it shows up everywhere or only in the state it was in. For instance, i have a family member who has felony absconding warrants in Michigan and they don't show up in Florida. However a Florida warrant will show up just about anywhere. It varies state to state and crime by crime. Obviously if it were a serious warrant for something like murder a Michigan warrant would show up anywhere but a felony obscond isn't going to. Regardless, I'm pretty sure flying is ok.

After 7 years since posting, I doubt they’re still waiting for an answer.
