Is there a statute of limiations on evidence found through a search warrant?

Answered by attorney Terry Alan Nelson (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Nelson & Lawless
You're mixing two different issues. There is a statute of limitations on bringing charges against you, which begins running once a crime is discovered. How long it is depends upon the crime, from 6 months for some misdemeanors to as much as 7 years for some felonies. No statute for murder, by the way. How long evidence can be held is different. You can file your demand upon the police and follow it up with a motion to the court for return of property any time after seizure. The judge will decide if it should be returned, after hearing the arguments of the police and prosecution.

You are free to talk to another party's lawyer, but she or he may not be free to talk with you. Check with your lawyer before you talk with a different one.

How can I tell if I have a warrant out?

Raymond J. Dague
Answered by attorney Raymond J. Dague (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Raymond J. Dague, PLLC
It is not a good idea to call the police and ask if there is an arrest warrant out there chasing you. If the answer is "yes" they might just trace the call, and an hour later you could be dealing with a knock on the door with a couple of officers escorting you to the local jail. This is the sort of situation where the attorney needs to make the inquiry for you. I have done this over the years and upon surrender to the court I can often get the client released as I work out the charges for him.
