Statutes of limitation don't apply to warrants, only to the crime (IE rape in NY has a 7 year statute of limitation). So to answer your question technically a warrant has no 'statute of limitations', but since there is a statute of limitations on most crimes (exceptions are crimes such as murder) essentially the warrant wouldn't be valid if the crime charged with in it exceeded the statute of limitations.

Don't believe so. If theres a warrant it's on record so if you get stopped, or in ANY trouble, they automatically run your name through the system and it will come up then your screwed, even if you've forgotten it.

so many people ask this question... Statute of limitations applies to BEFORE you get arrested for the crime. The time from when its committed till the time of arrest.
