Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

Re: what is the statue of limitations to be charged with a crime of credit card

Depending upon the charges that could be brought, federal and state felonies and misdemeanors, anywhere from 4 years to maybe 10. If contacted by police or arrested, get an attorney before speaking to them. Contact me if you need to hire counsel.

Thank you for your posting.

The answer to your question depends on the jurisdiction, and more importantly, depends on whether or not the theft can be classified as a felony or misdemeanor. That, in turn, depends upon the circumstances of the theft, and especially the amount alleged to have been taken, and the discovery date of the theft. For example, simple petty theft of less than $400 can be filed as a misdemeanor, and would be subject to a one year statute of limitations from the date of discovery of the theft. However, the statute of limitations can be much longer for felonies.

You really should sit down with an attorney, provide specifics, and get confidential advice that applies to your situation.
