Fugitive Felon Act

Read a random definition: procedural motion

A quick definition of Fugitive Felon Act:

The Fugitive Felon Act is a law that says if someone commits a serious crime in one state and then runs away to another state to avoid getting caught or going to jail, they can be charged with a federal crime. It also applies to people who refuse to testify in a criminal case. This law helps make sure that criminals can't just run away from their problems and escape justice.

A more thorough explanation:

The Fugitive Felon Act is a federal law that makes it a crime to run away across state lines to avoid being prosecuted for a felony or to avoid being put in jail for a felony. This law also applies to people who run away to avoid giving testimony in a felony case.

For example, if someone commits a felony in one state and then runs away to another state to avoid being caught and prosecuted, they could be charged with violating the Fugitive Felon Act. Similarly, if someone is called to testify in a felony case and they run away to another state to avoid testifying, they could also be charged with violating this law.

The Fugitive Felon Act is designed to prevent people from escaping justice by fleeing across state lines. It ensures that people who commit serious crimes are held accountable for their actions, no matter where they try to hide.
