A 13-year old is a minor. A check is a legal document. Minors are not allowed to sign legal documents. Therefore a check shouldn't be accepted in the first place from a 13-year old. If one did accept such a check he does so at his own risk, because it's inconceivable to believe that the State would issue a warrant in this type of situation. ADDED: I do not believe the questioner was asking about a 13 year old INDIVIDUAL, but was asking about a 13 year old BAD CHECK. If that is the case; It depends on the statute of limitations for that offense in the state in which the check was 'uttered.' It also depends on if the warrant was issued durng the Statute of Limitatins, because once a warrant was issued it means the charges were filed. If this is the case then there is no statute of limitations. However, as stated above, if 13 years has passed and no charges were filed then the Statute of Limitations has probably expired.
In most jurisdictions a bench warrant remains on your record permanently. It does not have a statute of limitations and can be used to arrest you even years after it was issued.
The statute of limitations for most crimes in the state of Florida is seven years. An arrest warrant does not have a statute of limitation. When the arrest warrant is issued it is valid until it is executed.
Crimes of the past have time limits called statutes of limitation. Some have no limit. An arrest warrant for murder can be issued 80 years after the crime if the suspect is still alive (for instance).
It is doubtful that a warrant was issued for a single ticket. Your driving privileges may have been revoked. And you might be in trouble if you get pulled over again.
only if there is a warrant for your arrest.
Wow, ten years! You would have to show proof that it was paid or dismissed. If warrant was issued then courts have no proof of this. Need to contact lawyer and show the proof.
Generally speaking, there is no time of expiration aftera warrant for arrest has been issued. Statute of Limitation laws only apply for the time between when a crime was committed and when the arrest warrant is issued. Example 1: A robbery with a statute of limitation of 10 years occurs on January 1, 1990. If a witness comes forth and identifies the perpetrator on January 1, 2001, an arrest warrant might be issued, but a judge will dismiss the charge because it was 11 years between events. Example 2: A robbery with a statute of limitation of 10 years occurs on January 1, 1965. If an arrest warrant was issued with probable cause the following day, it may be held open indefinitely, and the perpetrator may be picked up on it on January 1, 2009. Example 3: A robbery with a statute of limitation of 10 years occurs on January 1, 1965, and the perpetrator leaves the country. If a witness comes forth and identifies the perpetrator on January 1, 2001 as he returns to the United States, an arrest warrant might be issued, and the person will have to stand trial because the statute of limitations is suspended when the perpetrator is on foreign soil.
Typically, the statute of limitations would be 7 years. However, it is important to understand that this applies to situations where a crime has been committed but no warrant was issued in the defendant's name. Even if the defendant's name is not known, a John Doe warrant can be issued. Once a warrant is issued for an offense, it NEVER goes away. It may become inactive after a period of time, say, 6 months. Even so, it can be reactivated easily by a LEO. Furthermore, if an LEO knows there is a warrant existing in your name, he may lawfully arrest you EVEN IF THE WARRANT IS INACTIVE. After arrest, the warrant may be re-activated. So...the truth of the answer to your question is...never.
Yes. Bench warrants do not expire. Usually the officer in question would contact the authorities where the warrant was issued.
I think warrants should not expire in Colorado so people can know what they did and pay for it Answer: No, once an arrest warrant is issued for a person, the police will look for that person until they arrest him or her.
it depends on what type of warant a bench warrant is only good for about a year but a felony or criminal warrant can last 7 years
Bad checks are a crime and yes, they can get a warrant. Depending on the circumstances they are not likely to make arrests or go that far. They want their money, not you in jail. They can absolutely arrest you in Montana. Their records are slow, and if you accidently write a check which bounces, they will arrest you and/or put a warrant out for your arrest. It happened to me, I bounced a check to the supermarket for $40. I cleared it up but they have paper records there, and they arrested me and put my "bail" at $100.
