Legal Question in Criminal Law in New York

Re: Bench Warrent in another state

It really depends upon the case you are charged with. If it is a non serious misdemeanor or traffic matter it is unlikely that New York would go to the trouble or expense of extradition. If on the other hand it is a more serious felony matter, then NY is likely to bring you back there. Many warrants in fairly minor cases have geographic limitations on them, that is by the terms of the warrant an arrest for it will only take place within a certain state or even some times within certain counties or municipalities. Once the warrant is issued you can find this out by calling the clerk of the court in the county where the warrant was issued.
