Alsayran...thats not the american way my man.  If they bust in without a warrant, any evidence they get is automatically forfeit unless it is a crime in progress.  Further, you can sue for wrongful search and siezure and wrongful arrest.  These suits can go into the 6 digit payout range.  Why kill someone when you can spend the rest of your life relaxing on a Carribean beach sipping mojitos?

First of all, there is no issue with the statute of limitations. That only applies when the DA's office hasn't brought any charges. Your friend has already been convicted of DUI, hence, the DA's office brought charges against her. \n\nSecond, the warrant is probably in the NCIC computer system. If she hasn't completed all of her court ordered requirements, then she may not be able to get a driver's license in Florida. She needs to set things straight before she leaves. \n\nFinally, they probably won't tell you anything about her. She is a grown adult.

This is going to vary by state...no matter what anyone else says.\n\nIn California, it doesn't happen.  DMV can't even keep straight what they are responsible for, let alone things they're not responsible for.\n\nEDIT 5.9.06\n\nWell, the lawyer does indeed trump the cop on this one, but given context of the question, I think the cop is more on point.\n\nBut well said anyway :)\n\n(although....at least in California...not *entirely* true: a misdemeanor arrest warrant lacking an endorsement for night service cannot be served in the wanna'-be-arrestee's home after 10pm)

generally, its 72 hours. There may be exceptions particularly in relation to probation. At this point he can prpbably held based on the original sentence. Consult a lawyer

I had my door kicked in by the police and my house was destroyed during their search. They cut open my couch, put holes in my walls looking for drugs that were not there. \n\nThe address on the search warrant showed the house next door.\nOOPS\n\nThen they arrested me an took me to jail for 20 hours to make sure "that I couldn't tip off the neighbor that the warrant was really for"\n\n\n4 years later I just happened to get called for a jury duty with a case that was almost identical to what happened to me and quite frankly I would have voted to hang the police in that case.

IF they haven't been convicted yet, good luck.  It's no one's business.   Innocent until proven guilty, remember?\n\nSome smalltown newspapers still carry arrest records to fill up space, but not even the lawyers never know when court dates might come up or get pushed back.    They contribute to that date getting shifted, too, since some prefer to stall as long as possible while gathering evidence, witnesses, and so forth.\n\nNothing's ever written in stone in today's judicial system.   Could be a year from now.   Depends on the lawyer,the court's schedule, holidays, and so forth.

You can be arrested if someone files a criminal complaint on you with a law enforcement officer.  It is the police's duty to arrest you.  Only after that will an investigation begin of the incident.  \n\nIt is then up to the prosecuting attorney to decide if the case has sufficient evidence to win in court. (Notice I did not say IF THE DEFENDANT WAS INNOCENT.)  \n\nHow long you can remain in custody varies from state to state, most of them its 6 months if still in custody.  \nIf out on a bail bond, however, the state usually has about 9 months to complete the case with time excluded for various reasons. \n\nGenerally, however, if there is no actual crime committed I feel the police generally find that out and the charges are dismissed.

Generally: 3-years for a misdemeanor, 7-years for a felony, no time limit for murder.  Some states require a person to maintain their residence in the state for that time period.  Check the statutes for your state to be sure.  They're usually available online.

The complaintant would go to the local police and fill out the paperwork for the injunction aka restraining order. The injunction is issued immedialty and served on the respondant. Depending on the law in the jurisdiction a hearing is scheduled (usually 3-15 days) whereby a judge will review the request and possibly hear testimoney from the complaintant and respondant and determine if there is probable cause to allow the injunction to continue and what conditions will be imposed (ie 500 feet apart, etc.). If the judge does not feel the injunction is justified under the circumstances then the temporary injunction will be quashed and nothing further will be done.

Warrants are forever unless quashed by the judge that issued it.  It is best to contact the court and resolve this minor issue since it is not a felony.

In general yes, the authority to issue warrants for arrest are governed by individual state and federal laws. Although this question can be difficult without the specifics of a particular case so long as a prosecuting authority with jurisdiction over the case has not violated "Double Jeopardy" laws that might apply, they can in fact close a case prior to trial date in favor of refiling the charge (usually amended in some form) at a later time. In the instant cases where that happens, the request/use of a bench warrant is handled on a case by case bases and as such the dismissal of the first case would not have a bearing on the filing of the second. Please remain aware that this is a generalized answer and that due to the variance of laws from state to state this may be incorrect. Consultation with an criminal defense attorney within the jurisdiction in question would be the appropriate method to receive an accurate answer.

The longer you wait, the worse the penalties.  There is a warrant out for your arrest now, and that's not a good thing.  Do the time and get it over with - why have this hanging over your head?

As chslaw said, the laws on the subject vary between states, and you didn't say what state you want to know this about.\n\nIn California, there's no "time limit" per se.  There is a rebuttable presumption that deals with a three hour time limit, but there's no actual law that says blood must be drawn within a certain amount of time.

I'm pretty sure that it's a Federal Law that a person has to be released after 24 hours. It's not unheard of for the police to say " you were free to leave at any time" as an excuse for holding a person longer.
