What Happens If You Have a Warrant in Another State? - Adam M. Lustberg
Manage episode 459629358 series 3376163
From Lustberg Law Offices, LLC - In this episode, we discuss What Happens If You Have a Warrant in Another State? and explore the legal implications of out-of-state warrants for individuals in New Jersey. An out-of-state warrant is a court-issued order for arrest from another state that can be enforced in New Jersey, often leading to extradition. Our New Jersey criminal defense attorneys explain how interstate cooperation laws, including the Uniform Criminal Extradition Act (UCEA) and the Interstate Agreement on Detainers, govern these warrants and the legal process involved in handling them.
We cover how law enforcement agencies use the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) to track warrants across state lines, allowing for arrests during routine stops or other encounters with police. Once detained, individuals face the possibility of extradition, where the issuing state requests the individual's return to face charges. This process often involves a governor’s warrant and legal proceedings in New Jersey courts, where the accused has the right to contest their extradition during a hearing.
Addressing an out-of-state warrant quickly is essential, as unresolved warrants can have long-term consequences on a person’s criminal record, background checks, and employment opportunities. Our attorneys at Lustberg Law Offices, LLC can assist individuals in navigating the legal procedures, verifying the warrant’s validity, and exploring options such as surrendering to authorities or challenging the warrant in court. Each case requires a tailored strategy to minimize the impact of the warrant on an individual’s legal status and future.
Whether facing misdemeanor or felony charges, understanding the extradition process and your legal rights is critical. In New Jersey, defending against out-of-state warrants requires knowledge of both local and interstate legal frameworks. Contact Lustberg Law Offices, LLC at (201) 880-5311 to schedule a consultation with a dedicated criminal defense attorney who can help you address the warrant and protect your legal rights throughout the process.
