Florida does, indeed, extradite on felony warrants.
Can You Be Extradited Out Of Florida?
Yes, Florida extradites fugitives to and from other states on a felony warrant. Most of the time, this procedure takes about 30 days, but the court can grant an additional 60-day extension during an extradition hearing.
Florida follows the Uniform Criminal Extradition Act (UCEA) and is not a non-extradition state. All the states in the United States will extradite a fugitive from one state to another under the right circumstances. Not all states have adopted the Uniform Criminal Extradition Act; states that have not adopted it have their own extradition laws that comply with the federal law. Only South Carolina and Missouri have not formally adopted the UCEA.
When a person is arrested on an out-of-state warrant, the person has three options from which to choose:
*Consent to Extradition
*Request an Extradition Bond
*Request an Extradition Hearing
DeSantis is pretty much bound by the terms of the UCEA, though I suppose he could try to interfere in the process. I think if it came to that, though, he could/would hide behind the language of the UCEA as a handy way to get rid of his main opponent in the election.

It would be kind of easy to bash that giant head against the patrol car when putting it in the back

Trump will declare himself the Supreme Ruler for life on Monday. I just hate it when that happens.

I just read that Florida is one of two states (also Alaska) that does not extradite.

Thank you. That makes me feel much better. Still DeSantis has the power to block it but why
