Is there any statute of limitations for a DUI or can they wait 4 years to charge you with a DUI?

Answered by attorney Brian Nelson Steele (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Steele Law Offices
There are limitations on the State's time to charge you with any crime including a DUI. However, if a warrant was issued in 2009, that would indicate that you were charged back in 2009. You may have some standing to contest this if you can show that the state was somehow negligent in its attempt to notify you of the charges. Otherwise, the fact that the warrant has been active for 3 1/2 years is not due to their misconduct and they can continue to pursue the charges.

How long after the DUI charge can be expunged in New York and should Miranda rights be read on a DUI arrest?

No Miranda: The remedy for not being read your rights ("Mirandized") is that any admissions found to be involuntary that you may have made to the police cannot be used against you. It does not mean an automatic dismissal of the charges against you. The police know this so they don't bother Mirandizing you if they don't need your statements or a confession to prove your guilt. No expungement: I am sorry to be the one to tell you that there is no expungement in the State of New York.

Just because the cops said that does not make him correct. The district attorney has the final say on the charges and ungraded.
