One year for most misdemeanors except assaults and sex acts commited against minors.

HOWEVER the SOL stops running if you are out of state this may be extended an additional 3 years.

Answer 4

The only things in Ca that dont have a statute of limitations are murder and traffic tickets. The statute is normally 2 years as long as it is an open case.

Added: Actually it's not that cut and dried. If you have been positiviely identified as the subject wanted for the offense, then you are a 'fugitife from justice' and the bench warrant staysopen and on file until you are apprehended or turn yourself in. SOL's apply only if you remain undientified and the crime goes unsolved.

Also, (unsure about CA on this), but in MOST states the clock on the SOL stops and ceases to run when you are outisde of the the state.
