Pennsylvania law sections 9129-9131 outline the procedures for executing warrants, including the authority of peace officers, the rights of the accused, and the requirement to present the arrested individual before a judge. The law emphasizes lawful arrest procedures, assistance during arrest, and the right to legal counsel and habeas corpus testing. These provisions ensure proper legal process in extradition and arrest situations within Pennsylvania.
Pennsylvania law grants peace officers the authority to arrest the accused at any time and place within the state, and to command assistance from other officers or persons during the arrest.
An arrested individual must be taken before a judge promptly, be informed of the charges and demand for surrender, and has the right to legal counsel and to challenge the legality of the arrest through a writ of habeas corpus.
Yes, after proper legal procedures, the arrested person can be delivered to a duly authorized agent of the demanding state, but only after being brought before a Pennsylvania judge.
The arrested person or their counsel can request a writ of habeas corpus, and the judge will set a reasonable time for the hearing to determine the legality of the arrest.
