You have to look to the rules of criminal procedure in your state but probably not. However, there is very little relationship between the law that is written and the law that you will receive. I was extradited from one state to another without the requirements in federal law that the governor of the first state (Colorado Governor Ritter) send the governor of the 2nd state a statement that you are wanted for a crime or high treason. In fact, the warrant was blank where the law was supposed to be and I was not accused of a law. The Asst U.S. Attorney Robert Anderson even appeared and said that the government was not a party to this Then it turned out that the person who signed the order of extradition, Theresa Owens, was only a court clerk. In the entire court calendar for the D of Western Wisconsin for 2007 there is no mention of a "Magistrate Owens" nor of my hearing on 5/11/07. Also the FBI has no record of holding me from 5/11/07 to 6/1/07 even though the U.S. Marshals instructed that I should be treated as a "dangerous felon" (I have no criminal record at all). If I had been killed in jail, they probably would have just thrown my body in the trash. They can use the courts, the police, and the judges to hurt you without the benefit of any laws. I think that there are files of which judges go to prostitutes, which ones gamble, which ones do drugs, etc. and that criminals use that information to get the judges to hurt people. see http://www.rightscase.com and look up "my judge" Edward Nottingham. He was the one who ordered me held and extradited and then he said "whoops". He also ordered me to pay the insurance companies $102,000 without saying why or citing a basis for sanctions. The insurance companies skipped the garnishment forms and procedures and just took every last dollar from my bank account. The insurance companies were not authorized insurers in Colorado and didn't file the required C.R.S. 10-3-1004 or 10-5-108 forms. A private lawyer, David Brougham, claims on his on line resume that he represents the State of Colorado but the Col AG says they have no record of paying him. Brougham asked Judge Nottingham to put me in jail to deter me from filing in a different court. That was felony witness intimidation. see U.S.C. Title 18 Part 1, Chapter 73, § 1512. Judge Nottingham appointed the insurance defense agents as prosecutors and let them prosecute me for doing something legal. They said that I wasn't entitled to an evidentiary hearing before going jail and that the absence of criminal information was "meaningless" because it was 'civil contempt'. see http://www.rightscase.com
