- Q. My boyfriend was just arrested in new mexico on a Minnesota probation violation warrant. Can he serve the time in N.M?
- A: As far as serving probation out of Minnesota in New Mexico? No.
Transferring supervision of probation to another state is is something that must be brought up with your Minnesota probation officer, if your boyfriend is placed back on probation. There are rules regarding supervision of out of state probationers upon meeting certain criteria and acceptance of the supervision.
The State of Minnesota will have to decide if they are willing to pay the time and money to extradite your boyfriend from New Mexico. New Mexico will extradite a defendant if there is an open warrant, the other state requests it and will pay for it. The State of New Mexico has deadlines in which another state ... Read More

- Q. f i have absconded from arizona on a probation violation will i be extridited back even with the corona virus spreading
- A: The general rule is that when a warrant is issued it will be designated as extraditable or non-extraditable. When a non-extraditable warrant is issued, it generally means that if the individual is arrested in the state where it was issued, police will arrest him. However, if the person is found in a different state, the court will not pay the fees to transport the person back to the originating state.
In my opinion. COVID-19 has been decreasing in its effect on whether or not a person is arrested.

Can Prosecutors Use Social Media Evidence Against You in Court?

As such, there is no reasonable expectation of privacy, which means that prosecutors can use social media evidence against you without having to request a warrant.
