* In the uk you'll get police bail for almost all accusations (police bail means meaning released from jail, agreeing not to contact other people involved and not to leave the country). In the US I don't think you get bail, except for cash bail? And even then, you cannot go home or go to work, you're stuck in the US awaiting trial. Bye bye job. Bye bye marriage maybe given how long US trials, appeals, counter appeals etc are.
* The US and UK have pretty different justice systems. If you were dragged to the UK for trial, you can forget attorney client privilege. Or any real challenges to the evidence against you. Illegally collected evidence is still admissible here and if you confess to your solicitor, he has to plead guilty for you and inform the other side.
* Also, there are a lot of things that aren't crimes in one country but are in the other. Should you think about English law before you take actions in America? What if you're drunk in a field with your cow? That's illegal in the uk. Fancy coming over to be tried for it?
* the above leads to anothet issue: you can use extradition to bypass the constitution. You can be prosecuted for critiquing the president right, 1st amendment? Only you can, German makes it illegal to criticise foreign leaders, so Biden or Trump can ask them to extradite you, and have you tried there. Even though you've (presumably) never been to Germany. Sound good?
Extradition usually requires some evidence (the same as being charged locally). It seems weird the police won't have enough to hold me overnight, but I can be bundled onto a flight just because.
Extradition usually requires your crime to be committed in the place you're going for trial. That's partly to avoid stupid laws (ever critisized the king of Thailand? That's a capital crime over there) and party to make it clear who prosecutes (england prosecutes crimes in England where they're our problem, ditto the USA).
