What is the statute of limitations on 487 penal code in California?



    




DaveNCUSA
California Penal Code 799-805 detail the statute of limitations. Prosecution for felonies punishable by imprisonment for 8 years or more must commence within 6 years. Others within 3 years.

Edit: Reading further into the resource stated below, I believe Chuck_Junior above is correct.

The statute of limitations for all theft offenses which can be filed as felonies is FOUR years from discovery or completion of the offense. (Penal Code 801.5, 803(c)(1).)

First, the statute of limitations have to do with the filing of the case.

Meaning, if you committed a 487 in 2004, it would have had to have been filed within 5 years of the date of offense.

If you mean if a case has been filed and a warrant issued.... there IS no statute of limitations on the warrant.

I recently arrested a lady from CA who had a felony check case from 1987 and had 'skipped' to Texas.... she was extradited back to CA on the charge.... 21 years after the case was filed.

Hope this helps.
