The security force subsequently dropped its request. ({{TNG|A Matter of Perspective}}) |

Revision as of 00:24, 9 September 2007
Extradition is the legal process of one government requesting the transfer of an individual from another government's jurisdiction to their custody for alleged crimes within their jurisdiction.
When the Federation recieves an extradition request, a hearing is held to determine if enough evidence exists to warrant a trial. If it is decided that sufficent evidence exists, the charged individual is turned over to the other government and then is subject to their legal system. The Bajorans handle extradition requests in a similar fashion. (TNG: "A Matter of Perspective" DS9: "Dax")
