Duly constituted officers of compacting states may at all times enter another compacting state and there apprehend and retake any person on probation or parole or under suspended sentence. For these purposes no formalities will be required other than establishing the authority of the officer and the identity of the person to be retaken. All former legal requirements to obtain extradition of a person on probation or parole or under suspended sentence are hereby expressly waived. The decision of a compacting state to retake a person on probation or parole or under suspended sentence shall be conclusive upon and not reviewable by any other compacting state; but if, at the time when a state seeks to retake a probationer or parolee or one under suspended sentence, there is pending against him, within the other compacting state, any criminal charge or he is suspected of having committed a criminal offense within such state, he shall not be retaken without the consent of the other compacting state until discharged from prosecution or from imprisonment for such offense.
