Interstate Vs. International Extradition
ExTRADITION procedures can either be interstate or international. Interstate extradition refers to the transportation of an individual from one state into another within America. Each state has its set of extradition rules and procedures put in place guided by the Uniform Criminal Extradition Law.
On the other hand, international extradition happens when a country pursuing fugitives from justice demands an individual’s extradition. In most cases, fulfilling such demands through treaties between countries guarantees their validity with several countries having signed these agreements with America including; Australia, Brazil, Canada , China , India , Israel , Mexico , among many others.
The Criminal Extradition Process – Vital Information You Should Know
Following regulations and laws forms part of every extradition process whether it’s interstate or international . Filing relevant documents by the government and obtaining proper authorization for transport of prisoners are all critical factors to consider when seeking a successful extradition.
Outlined below is the criminal extradition process:
Step One: Arrest and Detention
Law enforcement officers take in the fugitive from justice upon their apprehension now subject to different state or country jurisdiction.
Step Two: Governor’s Warrant
This step involves getting an official warrant issued by the governor after the requesting state initiates legal proceedings. This warrant includes necessary documents and charges bagged against the offender .
Step Three: Pre-Hearing
If you want to stop or challenge your extradition, you can ask for a hearing. Both parties’ lawyers will then argue on your behalf before a judge who decides whether to grant or reject your request challenging extradition.
Step Four: Extradition Order
When the judge finds that it’s in order that you extradited, he issues an extradition order allowing immediate delivery of said fugitive to their home state or country demanded.
