Full question:
What is the statute of limitations on a warrant issued for someone not reporting to jail on the day ordered?
- Category: Criminal
- Subcategory: Statute of Limitations
- Date:
- State: California
Answer:
Typically, once a warrant is issued the statute of limitations stops running. Once a warrant is issued, it stays active until the person is arrested. A criminal statute of limitations ceases to run when charges are authorized, so the passage of time won't prevent the person from being prosecuted.
