It means there is arrest warrant in another state and the waiver is to see if you wish to fight the extradition back to the state with the warrant.

Waiver of rights under Extradition? If you waive your rights in or under Extradition you are simply saying you are not going to fight the extradition and the sheriff who has you will either transport you to the other state or hand you over to the other state when they send transport. If you do not waive your rights, you can have a hearing on the extradition to show probable cause for arrest. One advantage is that you may be able to post bond where you are located currently, if you do not waive.

Means you allow them to take you back to that state. They are going to do it anyways, most likely.

It means that the State will not have to jump through the hoops to get proof of the charges. IF the person knows that they are the right person, then it won't take much for the State to get all the necessary proof it will just delay the process.
