What is Misdemeanor statute of limitations new york?

Answer 1

There is a statue of limitations for misdemeanors and felonys. but ONLY BEFORE ARREST. If it is AFTER ARREST, and you're going to court for it and end up bailing out, it turnes into a bench warrant for which there is NO statute for. Yes, meaning they last forever. Misdemeanor Statute If you remain in state, or the police think you are. The statute for a misdemeanor is 2 and a half years. If you leave, or the police somehow find out you did then the statute is 7 years. Misdemeanors are mostly state or tri-state area situations. If you plan on running, and are a good amount of states away there is a good chance that it will not show up if you get pulled over, or arrested. IT COULD MOST DEFINATELY SHOW UP, and in that case you would get arrested, or held because of it for up to "X" amount of days to allow New York to come get you (each states holding time is different, usually its a week to two weeks) If New York chooses not to get you, then you get released. Felony Statute both in state and out of state is 10 years PRIOR TO BEING ARRESTED. As with the misdemeanors, after a felony arrest - a warrant never goes away. The bad thing of a felony is that it goes in the national database, so There is NO WAY IN HELL that it will not appear if you get arrested out of state, or pulled over. ALL OF THE INFORMATION is my interpretation of all the information I have found, and could be COMPLETELY AND TOTALLY WRONG. But shouldn't be. So, reader beware.
