Re: question about warrants

Actually, the operative time frame is 3 years. Search warrants can be attacked for staleness after about 10 days, typically. However, arrest warrants have no such constraint. You need to get with a bondsman and do a "walk-through" so that you don't get arrested at a traffic stop. Also, it sounds like you may have a defensible case. Do not screw it up by talking to the cops. They are NOT there to help you and typically they are not overly-fastidious about telling the truth. Give me a call and I can explain your situation to you if you like. My # is (405) 231-4343. I don't charge for consulting with you about your case.
