I had the same question about Marc Emery, Prince of Pot -- well known in Canada for selling marijuana seeds and a public advocate of legalizing marijuana.
Long story short, the US gov't got him extradited and he's now serving a five year sentence in a US prison.
No doubt there are countless situations like this but I just remember being incredibly shocked (no doubt naively) that the RCMP would go and arrest the guy just because the US asked them to.
