Legal Question in Criminal Law in Colorado
Colorado Warrants
I have a warrant in the state of
Colorado. I have spoken to an
officer and they told me it was a
non extraditable warrant. The
warrant is for ''attempted theft''
and I have not been charged with
anything yet. So I guess it's a
warrant for questioning. Now
where I come from, a non-felony
warrant is only effective in the
county it was issued in and the
counties adjacent to it. Is it the
same in Colorado, or can I be
picked up anywhere in the state?

Re: Colorado Warrants
You can be picked up anywhere in Colorado.
Re: Colorado Warrants
The warrant is good in the entire state. Transporting you, packed into a van with no a/c, heat, or room for the nine of you to sit is not "extradition". Get someone to deal with the charges that support the warrant. An attack the supporting charges will also attack the warrant. Don't do it yourself. If you show up to view an underlying case, you will simply be arrested.
Re: Colorado Warrants
Nothing's the same in Colorado. You can be arrested anywhere in the state, even in the farthest of any of the four corners. That's why they call it the Great State of Colorado.
