Extradition is the surrender of an accused criminal by one state or country to the jurisdiction of another.
Usually, not always, criminal suspects waive extradition when it is between states in the United States. Demands for extradition are usually opposed by criminal defendants when it is from one country to another.
Florida
Florida is one of three states that declines to allow extradition requests by other states on misdemeanor offenses. The other two states that decline extradition requests on misdemeanor offenses are Alaska and Hawaii.
