Legal Question in Criminal Law in Kansas
Wop
Can you tell me how the WOP (without prejedice) of charges works. I have been told that it will hover over a persons head for 5 yrs and at the discretion of the court can at any time in those 5 yrs be brought up and charged again. What about speedy trial? Will it come up on a background check? How does one get that taken off their name?

Re: Wop
Your case is dismissed. However, the prosecutor can refile the charges at anytime before the statute of limitations runs out. It should not show up on a check. If it does, you need to file a petition to expunge the arrest recorder.
