The United States constitution provides at Article 4, Section 2: "A person charged in any state with treason, felony, or other crime, who shall flee from justice, and be found in another state, shall on demand of the executive authority of the state from which he fled, be delivered up, to be removed to the state having jurisdiction of the crime."

You can flee -- which itself can be a new crime -- but you can't hide.
