    On the contrary, dulldave, this is an international arrest warrant so he'll be visiting France very soon. Whether he likes it or not.

    Time to resurrect the "Floyd Fairness Fund"? He'll need a better legal defence this time.

    Aaah it dates back a bit doesnt it - I must have missed this. If this was a Hollywood film we'd be thinking it was too far fetched....

    I wonder if Landis will be the one that brings it all down.

    I'm having visions of him running away from the police whilst emptying bottles of water over himself as he flees.

    Do you really think the U.S would extradite him?

    The only reason his 'mate' would not want him to go France is just in case he's got nothing to do whilst in the clink except write a book! Given he's going to need some funding to fight his legal case how else is he going to fund his defence?

    Apparently the US doesn't recognise them, or has some kind of veto, so unless he travels outside the US he is safe.

    Typical U.S.. Non of their little darlings can be put before 'unfair' foreign courts but they expect everyone else to sign up to and extradite their own nationals to the U.S..

    E.g. the guy who hacked into the Pentagon computers. Even though the 'crime' was committed in England. You'd have thought that they would be giving him loads of money rather than drag him through the courts, - so he can tell every one how easy it was.

    I've been looking around on the web and it seems that there are many people with international arrest warrants out on them. This doesn't surprise me, but I noted that
    some of the people named live "openly"(for lack of a better word). I'm guessing that
    this warrant doesn't really have much bite, except to stop you from leaving the country you're from. Anyone?????

    Not to mention the way the USA, whenever it suits it, ignores international law, The International Court of Human Rights, the Geneva Convention and so on...

    It is also the case that such extraditions are often contrary to the centuries-old law of the land, as seems to be the case in a number of British extraditions to the US. Then again, perhaps those involved should be thankful that they aren't been subjected to 'special rendition' (i.e. kidnap and torture) instead. :wink:

    Unlike all the great socialist super-powers which always play by the rules.

    All countries act like this when it suits their end game.

    I wonder why this needs to go to court at all? How did the AFLD get hacked? Well, they clearly had very poor security to start with. Arnie probably knows something about it but I don't expect you'd get much sense out of Floyd.

    Edit : Warrant only valid in France.

    But they are the 'baddies', 'evil doers' and what not. On the other hand the USA is beyond reproach, a nation of God-fearing 'freedom lovers', and any criticism of US policies is nothing more than 'Anti-Americanism'... You know that... :wink:

    So, back to my question about who can "arrest" F.L. and where can he be "arrested"??
    This is an interesting point and reminds me of the Roman Polanski thing. Who can arrest whom, who can deport whom and why, and who's in charge of all these "international arrest warrants"??? And yes "bb" I know we are the evil empire, but that's all Lances fault. We were nice people before him. We strayed from the path.

    It's only valid in France.

    He was asked to appear in court, didn't show up and there is now a warrant for his arrest. Same thing would happen in most countries.

    So what's the "international" aspect of all this. If it's only good in France why call it "international"??? Or does that mean that if someone wants to "nab him" and bring him to France they can??? I'm not following something.
