Re: how long do the county have an issuing a warrant
You're one of the few people that's complaining because you're not being prosecuted fast enough.
The DA has the entire statute of limitations to begin prosecution of you. That means on a felony, they have up to 3 years. On a misdemeanor, they have up to a year.
If there is some compelling reason to insist they hurry up and prosecute you, then you can contact an attorney and see if they can get the paperwork moving along. Before you rush to have that done, be sure to discuss the case thoroughly, including why a delay may be beneficial to you.
