    Possession of Marijuana Paraphernalia Charge in Illinois
    ok so my apartment got broken into on may 17th while the cops where there they found a hitter pipe and 2 bongs the bongs where not in my room but the hitter pipe was in my closet so they tried to give me a ticket for it. I denied it being mine to the bitter end and he tried to give me a ticket anyway telling me I was not admitting guilt just agreeing to go to court. So i after trying to talk my way out of it for a few minutes I finally ask if I should be calling my lawyer, then the cop started to back pedal and broke down and said he would talk to my roommate first and see if he would claim the pipe as his and if he did I was off the hook. Now it is May 27th the cop who found it or any police officer for that matter has talked to me or my roommate yet about this and I haven't heard anything else about it since that day. What I want to know is can they still do anything about this or are they too late? If they still can at what point will it be to late for them to try and charge me?

    The criminal statute of limitations will be significantly greater than ten days.

    No I'm not that dumb I don't live in great neighborhood what alot of my co-workers call "the hood." So as soon as they came in they assumed the place was a crack house and that's really what he was looking for they found the bong while SEARCHING my apt. which they claimed was legal since as he put it "the whole apartment is a crime scene" and they where "checking out the crime scene." And I figured it was more than a couple days I was just wondering how long exactly and they didn't find any actual drugs just "Drug paraphernalia" and was not sure what the SOL was for him to write a Drug paraphernalia ticket.
