§ 22-1141.25. Waiver of proceedings and consent to return to
demanding state.
Any person arrested in this state charged with having committed
any crime in another state or alleged to have escaped from
confinement, or broken the terms of his bail, probation or parole
may waive the issuance and service the warrant provided for in
Section 7 and 8 and all other procedure incidental to extradition
proceedings, by executing or subscribing in the presence of a judge
of any court of record within this state a writing which states that
he consents to return to the demanding state; provided, however,
that before such waiver shall be executed or subscribed by such
person it shall be the duty of such judge to inform such person of
his rights to the issuance and service of a warrant of extradition
and to obtain a writ of habeas corpus as provided for in Section 10.
If and when such consent has been duly executed it shall forthwith
be forwarded to the office of the Governor of this state and filed
therein. The judge shall direct the officer having such person in
custody to deliver forthwith such person to the duly accredited
agent or agents of the demanding state, and shall deliver or cause
to be delivered to such agent or agents a copy of such consent;
provided, however, that nothing in this section shall be deemed to
limit the rights of the accused person to return voluntarily and
without formality to the demanding state, nor shall this waiver
procedure be deemed to be an exclusive procedure or to limit the
powers, rights or duties of the officers of the demanding state or
of this state.
