Q: If I have a misdemeanor warrant in a far away state would it be likely a extraditable warrant ?

A: You may want to repost this in the state where the warrant was issued. Once you are arrested in California or else where, that state is paying the bill.

A: In California, whether you would be extradited for a misdemeanor warrant from another state depends on several factors, including the severity of the offense and the policies of the state that issued the warrant. Generally, extradition is more common for felonies than misdemeanors. However, serious misdemeanors like DUI could potentially lead to extradition, depending on the specific circumstances and inter-state agreements.

If you have an out-of-state warrant for offenses such as shoplifting, DUI, or disorderly conduct, you might not automatically be extradited from California, especially for less severe misdemeanors. However, you can still face arrest in California, and the local authorities may contact the state where the warrant was issued to determine if they want to pursue extradition. This process can vary significantly from case to case.

It's important for you to understand your legal situation clearly. Ignoring the warrant won't make it go away and could complicate your situation further. It might be wise to contact legal counsel to discuss your specific circumstances and explore your options. They can provide guidance on the likelihood of extradition and help you address the warrant proactively.
