What are examples of narcotics?

Narcotics are drugs that alleviate physical pain, suppress coughing, alleviate diarrhea, and induce anesthesia. Natural narcotics are derived from the Opium poppy and synthetic narcotics are made to act like the major constituents of Opium (thebaine, morphine, codeine). Legal, synthetic narcotics such as OxyContin (oxycodone) and Vicodin (hydrocodone) are prescribed as pain-relievers but are often diverted for illegitimate uses. Heroin is an illegal narcotic, derived from morphine.

What is the statute of limitations on felony probation in IL?

The concept of a statute of limitations does not apply to probation violations. A statute of limitations is a time period that begins when a criminal act is committed, and ends when charges are brought, or in some cases if the accused leaves the jurisdiction where the offense took place. In the case of a probation violation, the charge is brought as soon as the probationer has absconded from supervision and a warrant is issued. Arrest warrants have no statute of limitations. They are valid until served or recalled. People are routinely arrested on warrants that are decades old.

How does a document become a legal document?

Documents aren't legal. They are evidence of agreements. Some of them can be legal documents, recording legal agreements. In most cases to be used as evidence, it helps if they are signed and dated. Signatures of witnesses or notarization makes it more credible.

Another Perspective

The answer is proper execution.

A legal document (or legal instrument) is formally executed written evidence of an enforceable act between parties such as transaction between parties, a relationship between parties such as an agreement, contract, obligation or right. "Legal instrument" is a legal term of art. In order to be enforceable against the parties a document must be fully executed according to the laws in that state.

Proper execution of a document makes it a legal document. For example, an unsigned promissory note is not a legal document. A properly drafted promissory note signed by the debtor, witnessed and notarized is a legal document and enforceable in court. An unsigned deed is not a legal document and conveys nothing. It cannot be enforced in court. A properly signed, witnessed and notarized deed is a legal document. Signed and witnessed legal documents are prima facie evidence in the moving party's favor.

The statute of limitations is to prevent one from being accused of a crime when the witnesses may no longer be available and defense difficult.

As such, a traffic ticket does not expire and is not subject to a statute of limitations. Some jurisdictions will stop trying to collect, or declare on amnesty on tickets on a specific time frame.

Is there a statute of limitations on debt collections?

Yes. [ADDED-see below] The SOL depends on the state and type of agreement. Also note that credit card debt is called an open end account. The SOL for debts that have expired (no longer required to pay) is not the same SOL used by credit bureaus. Take a look at the following site http:/www.credit-repair-specialist.com/debt-collection-statute-of-limitation.html and http://www.blogblackstocks.com/2007/02/how_long_does_n.html Just because the SOL has expired on a debt does not mean you do not owe the debt. Very few states extinguish the debt on expiration of SOL. When the SOL expires it just means that they can not sue you and win if you show up in court and use expired SOL as a defense. They can continue to attempt to collect on a debt forever. Items fall off your credit report 7 - 7.5 years from the DOFD, which is set by the OC and is federally mandated. This date can not change. SOL is state mandated and varies from state to state.
