Virginia law § 19.2-114 allows individuals arrested in the state for crimes committed elsewhere to waive their extradition process by signing a written consent in front of a judge. The judge must inform the individual of their rights before obtaining this waiver, which is then forwarded to the Governor for action. The law also clarifies that this waiver does not restrict the person's right to return voluntarily or affect the powers of authorities involved.
