What are the extradition laws for state to state extradition within the united states?

It depends on the charge and location where you are now and where the state that the warrant was issued. Some charges, if pulled over, etc in one state... and they run your license and it pulls up the warrant, they would go ahead and arrest you, but they then would contact the agency that issued the warrant. It then depends if that state "wanted" you or if they were not going to pursue the matter (i.e. cost them more to extradite/have a hearing than original charge). This isn't likely, but sometimes they do not worry about extradition. Either way, once arrested, the agency issuing the warrant must pick you up within 30 days, or you will be released. It all depends on the charge, whether it was state or federal (federal... automatic extradition), and the state which crime occurred and your current state. More information is at 18 U.S.C. § 3182.
