What happens if a wanted person goes to another country?

Yes, the process is usually extradition. The criminal can’t usually be charged in the new country, because they haven’t broken that country’s laws. So the country where the crime was committed (eg India) would apply to the new country (eg Singapore) for extradition.

What happens if you refuse extradition?

If the individual decides to waive extradition rather than challenge it, the judge will remand the person immediately to the other state’s authority and hold him or her without bond. The person may still have the Fugitive of Justice case attached as well and may need to complete additional steps to take care of this.

What is it called when you hide a wanted person?

In a federal criminal investigation, harboring a suspect or a wanted fugitive refers to knowingly hiding a target of a federal investigation or a wanted criminal from federal authorities.

Can you waive extradition?

A waiver of extradition means the defendant is relinquishing their right to an extradition hearing. Waivers to international extraditions occur when the defendant asks to be returned to the requesting jurisdiction without an extradition hearing.

Is it safe for a criminal to flee to another country?

So if the criminal fled to a country that has no extradition treaty with India they might be safe, as long as they never again set foot in international territory or a country with an extradition treaty with India. For this reason, countries usually don’t publicise which other countries they have extradition treaties with.

What happens if a non-Indian runs away from the police?

If a non-Indian was fleeing from the local cops and entered the reservation, the local cops could continue the pursuit and make the arrest just as if they were anywhere else, under the “fresh pursuit” doctrine. Extradition proceedings would not normally be required unless the pursuit had crossed a state line.

What happens to someone who has fled to another country?

Depends on the relationship between your home country and the country you have fled to. If there is an extradition treaty (and many countries have these) then you would be arrested and returned to your home country for trial.

Do Indian reservations have their own law enforcement?

Some tribes don’t have their own law enforcement, and allow the local sheriff’s or police department to operate there as if the land wasn’t a reservation. Others that do have their own tribal police departments still permit local law enforcement to operate “business as usual” where non-Indians on shared lands are concerned.
