| Where can I find a list of statute of limitations at the state and federal level? |
|
Most states, I'd venture to guess, have their complete statutes posted on the internet.
Look up the state where the offense occurred. Check the index or search using key words. Good luck. Federal Law (different from state statutes) is probably somewhere in the US Code. Aloha, Mark |

The internet. Seriously though, google the offense, state, and statute of limitations. Should get you on the right track. BTW some crimes do not have one. i.e. Tax Fraud. Along that line..... Rape can also be extended. i.e. age of the victim (minors) and when it's "discovered." Murder does not usually have a "limitation." That is...in states that are worth a dam, IMHO. Aloha, Mark |

There's gonna be at last fifty different versions, with date changes based on new laws some grandfathered in and some not, plus federal laws. Need more specifics. Offense, date of incident, state. Well, sure, but the OP obviously travels a lot or at least doesn't remember where he's been or maybe isn't sure what offense might have taken place. 
Seriously, surely someone has compiled a list? Or is it something that nobody has bothered to put together? I can see the value especially in this age of possibly pointless warrants coming back to bite people in the ass. ETA: this site has a Legal Section forum that might be a better place to ask the question, OP. |

Go state by state and check federal. It's complicated. |

Lots of variables for sure, but do attorneys ever use some kind of summarization ? Or do they only use their own personal knowledge of the laws in the jurisdiction they practice in? Even if a given case is outside of where you're licensed etc., you'd still want to know enough to identify and recommend a qualified attorney in the right area and to tell a client what issues might arise. |

State statute of limitations should be easy to find with Google. Federal the rub is they have so many different laws and regulations you have to be sure you come up with every offense you could be charged with. If you think you have some real civil or criminal liability ( v just being curious) you really need to talk to an attorney |

The statute of limitations in Georgia for theft is either 2 years for misdemeanor theft or 4 years for felony theft unless you were under 18 at the time of the theft which would give it a seven year limitation period.
I'm not licensed in Georgia, and the above is based on about 30 seconds of research, so it's worth what you paid for it. If you rely on the above to your detriment, it's not my fault because I told you I don't know what I'm talking about. Besides, I didn't even bother to look at the civil statute of limitations and I'm not going to. Seriously, go talk to a prosecutor or a private lawyer licensed in Georgia if you want to pursue anything. |
