A:
If you have a non-extraditable warrant out of Ohio, it's important to understand that flying internationally could still pose significant risks. "Non-extraditable" means that Ohio may not seek your return if you're found in another state or country, but this doesn't mean you're free from legal complications.
When you attempt to fly, especially internationally, your information will typically be reviewed by various agencies, including those responsible for border control and aviation security. If they discover the warrant, even a non-extraditable one, it could lead to delays, further questioning, or potentially being denied the ability to fly.
Moreover, while Ohio might not extradite you, the discovery of a warrant could prompt local or federal authorities to take action based on their own policies or in response to the nature of the warrant. This could include detaining you or preventing your travel until the matter is resolved.
It's advisable to address the warrant before attempting to travel internationally. This could involve consulting with legal counsel to understand your options and possibly resolving the warrant. Ignoring it and attempting to travel could exacerbate your legal difficulties.
In summary, while technically possible, flying internationally with a non-extraditable warrant carries significant risks and should be approached with caution and legal advice.
