What right may a criminal arrested in another state waive?

A criminal arrested in another state may waive the right to extradition. Extradition is the legal process by which one jurisdiction surrenders a suspect or convicted individual to another jurisdiction in which they are charged with a crime. When a person waives this right, they are essentially agreeing to be transferred to the other state without the formal extradition process. This can expedite the legal proceedings against them since they forgo the legal protections that typically accompany extradition, such as the opportunity for a hearing to contest the extradition.

Other rights mentioned in the options are broader constitutional rights that relate to the criminal justice process. The right to a speedy trial, the right to legal counsel, and the right to remain silent are fundamental rights under the U.S. Constitution that protect defendants during legal proceedings but are not specifically related to the extradition process itself. In contrast, the waiver of extradition is a specific legal act that can influence how a case proceeds across state lines.
