Asked on Jul 03rd, 2013 on DUI/DWI - Georgia
More details to this question:
A few days ago, I relapsed and was drunk at work. I was on private property and blacked out. Apparently I drove under the influence, recklessly, and on the suspended list. Bad decisions? Yes. Regardless, the police were called and allegedly there was a video made by a resident of the community. I had no interaction with the police, and they told my fellow workers to take me home. I was fired from my job due to the incident and fear the issue may be pursued. How long do I have before charges can’t be filed?

For a misdemeanor, the prosecutor has 1 year to file charges. For felonies, he has 3 years.

All of those charges are misdemeanors and must be commenced within one year. However, the officer must actually observe a traffic violation so if charges are brought, you have good defense.

In Missouri, the statute of limitations is generally three years for a felony and one year for a misdemeanor.

If you think the statute of limitations will save you, you are in fantasy land.
