Its not unheard of for U.S. Marshalls to arrest a U.S. citizen in the U.S. to stand for a warrent in a foreign country.... http://www.cnn.com/2006/LAW/09/14/dog.bounty/index.html U.S. treaties allow for foreign countries to issue arrest warrents for U.S. citizens in the U.S.. -Robert Yes but a US court and the Secretary of State will decide in the bounty hunter case if he is extradited. The same would happen in the case of the pilots. |
