Can you be prosecuted even though the statute of limitations has expired?

There seems to be a lot of misunderstanding (ESPECIALLY AMONG QUESTIONERS TO THIS SITE) about statutes of limitations on various things. However - if you are ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN that the statute of limitations has passed for whatever offense it is that you committed, then, no, you cannot be arrested for THAT offense. BUT don't expect that law enforcement will not be interested in you.... there's a LOT of laws out there for them to use.

∙ 14y agoYes. The statute of limitations does not apply once you have been arrested or a warrant has been issued. The fact that you have been a fugitive from justice stopped the clock.

Can a credit card company sue you after 6 years?
Yes, it can even if the applicable statute of limitations on the claim has expired. A court will not refuse to accept a complaint for action just because the statute of limitations has expired. Nothing in any court rule forbids a plaintiff from filing an action that is beyond the statute of limitations. In fact, court rules require that a defendant must make an affirmative statement in the answering pleading that the claim is barred by the statute of limitations or that defense will be waived and the action may proceed even though the statute of limitations has expired. Once the statute of limitations has been raised as an affirmative defense, the plaintiff is required to prove that the SOL should not bar its claim.
