Legal Question in Criminal Law in Wisconsin

Meth charges in 2 states

Police are allowed to delay any arrest as long as they charge the person prior to the expiration of the statute of limitations, which is six years in WI. Delayed arrests are common in ongoing drug investigations in order to protect the identity of the confidential informant. Possession of drugs found in a vehicle is ultimately determined by a judge or a jury. If the government cannot prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the person driving the vehicle was the owner, the driver will be acquitted. The decision of the police as to who to charge with possession is therefore not the final decision. If you are the owner of a vehicle in which drugs were found, you need to consult an attorney.
