If I broke probation in SC and fled to another state. I was on probation for a non-violent felony. If they do extradite, what is the mile radius?
Hello ****, extradition laws vary by state. South Carolina can request extradition from any state if a felony has been committed. The distance doesn't typically factor into the decision. However, the decision to extradite is often based on the severity of the original crime and resources available.
So will the come for non-violent
Hello ****, typically, for non-violent felonies, states may consider the cost and resources involved in extradition. However, the final decision rests with the authorities. It's important to consult with a local attorney for advice on your specific situation.
What about for shoplifting enhanced?
Hello ****, the term "shoplifting enhanced" usually refers to an elevated charge due to prior offenses. In South Carolina, this can elevate a misdemeanor to a felony. Extradition for such cases can occur, but depends on the specific circumstances and state resources. Please consult a local attorney.
I was wondering about mile radius. Because Florida only does * miles
Hello ****, the 'mile radius' is less applicable in extradition cases. Florida may have policies about extraditing for crimes committed within * miles, but South Carolina can request extradition from any state, regardless of distance. It's best to discuss this with a local lawyer.
OK thanks
You're welcome, ****. If you have any more questions in the future, don't hesitate to ask. Please consult with a local attorney for your specific situation. Stay safe.
