"Keep away" felony warrants

[PeteBroccolo]

I had Canada RCMP come get a guy for a $15,000 warrant about two years ago...

Wish I could say it was me that made that trip, but I certainly would have like to have done so!

Up here, warrants for Municipal By-Law (animal control, parking, noise) and Provincial Statute (liquor, traffic, fish/wildlife/game, fuel tax) violations, which are NOT criminal offences, are ONLY executable within the Province in which they occurred. Such Warrants DO get entered onto CPIC (like NCIC - only better), but unless you have access to an ORI for another Province, you will NOT even see such "hits".

Warrants for Criminal Code (a compilation of common offences - impaired driving, assault, B&E, theft, sex assault, fraud, FTA Court, escape custody, parole / probation / probation - enacted by the Federal Government, but administered / enforced by Provincial and Municipal Governments) and Federal Statute (drugs, immigration, copyright, customs, excise (liquor and tobacco), revenue (income tax)) violations ARE criminal offence, and CAN be executed Canada-wide, IF the investigating Agency OR Provincial Justice Department AUTHORIZES them to be.

USUALLY **ALL** Warrants (CC, FS, PS, M B-L) will be executable AND returnable EVERYWHERE within the Province where the offence(s) took place, but I HAVE seen "hits" where the Radius (of Execution / Return) is restricted to x kms of the Agency maintaining the record. Such restrictions do NOT normally occur here in Saskatchewan, however we USUALLY catch-and-release after having our "client(s)" sign a release document.

An outstanding, out-of-Province, Warrant, even though it is Radius: the-other-Province, is CERTAINLY grounds to Remand for a Show-Cause hearing if a "client" commits a serious enough offence and / or is not normally a resident of / does not have a reason to remain in the area (job / home).

In 1988, I went to Alberta to retrieve a "client" due to Warrants for about $2000 worth of fraud, where he used his brother's ID, but it was because another Agency arrested the brother 3 times as a result of my "hit" with the brother's name as an alias used by my "client".

Here in Seattle, we regularly see Tacoma warrants (35 miles away) that are valid in Tacoma only (no extridition within the state). It's for about every non-DV misdemeanor, or so it seems.

To be honest, it's ingenious. As long as their minor problems stay out of Tacoma, they are in the clear - so the come to Seattle.

I caught a guy one night who had a warrant with NATIONWIDE EXTRADITION on a misdemeanor traffic violation...I figured he must have nailed the judge's daughter or something, but he wouldn't tell me the story.

I have yet to see a warrant out of any agency in Pierce County that was extraditable lol, misdemeanor warrants anyway.

As you see from my screen name warrants are my primary job. I have to say the great state of AZ is pretty good. I usually dont deal with misdemeanors. Alot of agencies here wont extradite into the next county. AZ probation warrants are not ex but parole warrants are. Most felony warrants in Maricopa County are. It is my belief these people are the ones committing most of the crimes and harming officers and need to be put behind bars. Gentleman dont let the whole ex thing discourage you. Get a list of warrants and go knock on some doors. You may end up getting a dirtbag like the one who killed the four officers in Oakland.

I get them all the time...had one a few nights ago for VOP, original charge was Burglary. Needless to say I was VERY upset as we've been getting hammered with burglaries lately.

I dont think any state is immune,,, for us in CA, states such as Oregon and WA. never extradite, misd or Fel. It probably has to do w/ the cost to bring them back, and whether its an ARR warrant or bench warrant. I know CDC, (CA Dept of Corrections) will go anywhere in the country to bring back parolees, even if its to serve 90 days.

I had one that kind of aggravated me the other day. I ran a guy and he came back as being on parole for drugs. He also had a non extraditeable warrant out of the METRO area for misdeamenor charges. How in the heck does a Parole officer let this slide.

Around here, parole officers wait until the person has been convicted to violate them.

Anyone else want to share a tale of felony warrant "NOEX" frustration?

I've got a great tale of "NoEx outside California"-

Dirtbag hangs around our town alot, always panhandling, trespassing, causing minor trouble. Up until very recently, our particular county was always "cite and release" for misdemeanors (thanks to the previous sheriff....Anyway, dirtbag had a drug warrant in California, but they would never extradite him.

Fast forward to two months ago.....Dirtbag is arrested in a neighboring city for a drug-related homicide of a pregnant woman.

If Cali had extradited, he wouldn't have been here and it wouldn't have happened....

If he had a felony warrant for dangerous drugs why not investigate further. Get him out of the car and see what you can turn up regardless of the status of the warrant. If you do turn something up the warrant itself would add to your suspision and then to hopefully PC.

If I get a arrestable warrant of any type I get them out of the car and dig into the stop more. ****bags are still ****bags 1000 miles away.

Just making sure this wasn't glossed over... +1

I'd rather they put it into NCIC with NOEX than put it into a separate state database so out-of-state inquiries would get no hit.

It's certainly not perfect, but it's better than nothing.
