How long does the state have to charge someone for a theft charge that has not been arrested?

default-avatar

It depends upon the degree of the crime. If it is a misdemeanor, it can be up to two years, if a felony up to three years.

Driving on Suspended License

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Charles D. Scott (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at The Law Offices of Charles D. Scott PLLC
The State of Florida is required to send you a notice of suspension to the address that they have on file for you. If you have moved and not notified the DMV of your new address, their only obligation is to send the notice to the last known address you provided.  The act of mailing the notice by the State is all the obligation they have and once they mail it you are considered on notice, whether you receive it or not. Since you were unaware, and this is (I assume) your first offense, you should ask the State Attorney at traffic court to amend the charge to driving on suspended "without notice" and then ask the court to withhold adjudication and impose the minimum court cost.

If you’re in the hospital and have court, will they automatically postpone your court date for a new one and will they issue a warrant?

Answered by attorney Edmund P. Allen (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at The Law Office of Edmund P. Allen Jr., PLLC
You will need to call the court and let them know, and maybe provide them documentation about the hospitalization. It will be up to the judge to continue the case to another date or issue a warrant.
