Unless you are passing through U.S. Immigration when entering the U.S., there is generally no check on whether or not you are wanted for airline passengers. However, in the case of a major crime where a person is being actively pursued by the authorities, part of the search may include checking passenger lists in relevant cities.
If selected for extra screening, however, it is possible that a more thorough check may turn up your warrant. (Note: In Canada, transportation officials and airport security do not have access to general arrest warrant information. Police officers stationed at airports, however, most certainly do.)
Bear in mind that, in the United States, it is generally a crime to cross State lines to avoid prosecution. Fleeing to another jurisdiction may, in fact, worsen the charges involved.
Sure, but it won't do you any good. A warrant signed in one state is only good in that state. If an arrest warrant is signed in Vermont, it is useless in Florida. You have to get another arrest warrant signed in Florida.
Another View: The first answer is incorrect. The apprehending state will detain you while they notify the "wanting" state that they have you in custody. If it is an extraditable offense, that information will be included on the computer "hit" and you will be held by the apprehending state until the "wanting" state files the proper legal process to have you returned for p[rosecution.
Yes, of course. An arrest warrant is a command from a judge to arrest a person. Usually a police officer has no choice and must arrest.
The arrest warrant can be enforced anywhere in the US, and any other country with which the US has an extradition agreement.
It's not called an arrest warrant its called a bench warrent which is ordered by the judge and to answer your question yes.
You can fly, or you can drive.
I don't know how IL law is but in NY they can only hold him for thirty days if FL is not ready to extradite him by then they would have to let him go warrant and all. Now this depends if he got time for the DUI if so they would have until 30 days after his scheduled release date.
No. Just don't go back to NY. Short of committing murder, you won't be expedited to NY because of the distance between the two states. It would cost too much money for the state to pick you up on a speeding ticket. (RED2161)
no and infact hes looking at several years in prison due to the age difference.
Until they arrest you.
If the warrant was entered into "the system" they could detain you, however the probability of NY extraditing you from NJ on simply a disorderly charge, is pretty slim.
No, typically DUI classes must be completed in the state where the offense occurred. So in this case, you would need to complete the DUI class in Florida, as that is where the arrest took place in Lee County.
No
When a US state has custody of a criminal who is wanted in another US state, the US Constitution demands that he/she be extradited (Article IV, Section 2, Clause 2).
