Part a) is probably fine (though I am ignorant of the latest jurisprudence on what you can and cannot be required to tell police officers). I am certain that part b) is illegal. SF is free to arrest people locally for local crimes, but they can't 'extradite' those arrested to other states: If you're charged with a crime, it's your constitutional right to be tried "by an impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed"[1].

After conviction, they could ship them off to somewhere else for whatever punishment they were sentenced to; alternatively, they could just agree to drop the charges after arrest in return for them accepting one-way bus tickets. Actually, something like the latter (with or without formal arrest) has happened a lot with the homeless and/or mentally ill (and, especially, the mentally ill homeless.) Though, IIRC, SF has more frequently been cited as a destination than a source of those types of maneuvers.
