Possibly, they may just float the warrant and leave it outstanding so each time you come in contact with law enforcement, they arrest and hold you for 2 or 3 weeks to see if NY wants to chase. If NY doesn't pick you up, they will likely let you walk until they repeat the cycle. It can go on for decades, with you being held long enough to lose your job and home, each time.

That is not true. This may happen the first time. If NY refuses to extradite this information will be added to the NCIC warrant record and they won't arrest and hold OP a second time.

Generally speaking it won't even happen a first time unless they intend to extradite. Most jurisdictions indicate in NCIC whether they will extradite and if so where from (i.e. nationwide, statewide, within same or bordering counties, etc.).

A warrant is a warrant. Police agencies will respect that warrant. We have had many OP's here who's SO's were in jail for this. I suggest you limit your responses to those you have knowledge of or are you now a spokesperson for all law enforcement agencies in NC?

Whatever information is returned from the warrant hit is never taken as gospel around here.

If there is a warrant hit for an individual they are held until the originating agency can be contacted to confirm the conditions of the warrant, including extradition. Just the way we do things.

We have run into situations where the incorrect information was entered into NCIC. The only thing we can be sure of is what is written on the warrant itself - that's why we confirm all the necessary details.

New York doesn't do anything - it's up to the county district attorney's office to decide whether they will seek extradition.

Some District Attorneys are tougher than others. For instance, Kings and Bronx counties have vehicular crimes units in their DA's offices. They tend to take a hard line with such crimes and as such you would be more likely to face extradition if charged there.

Here's a thought. Why don't you act like a responsible person and take care of this in NY instead of being a fugitive?
