Re: Felony Warrant

Forever, or until you're arrested on it. And, because it's a felony, if you're stopped in any state in the country for, say, a traffic offense, and the cop runs a national warrant check, you can be arrested in that state, held for up to 90 days while California extradites you (brings you back to CA to deal with the charges). Good luck.
