My question involves criminal law for the state of: California- Although i have never been formally charged, or even spoken with the police on this matter at all, there is a warrant for my arrest for shoplifting from Best Buy- Target- and Walmart. The police have spoken with my mother numerous times as they stopped by her house looking for me-and she has always told them she knows nothing about anything like that, and she has not seen me, and does not know where i am. To the best of my knowledge, they have pics of me in the stores, and in the parking lots, and they have empty packages found in various places inside the stores.( Surely they must have more evidence than that, or they would not have a warrant for my arrest.) The shoplifted products were high priced items (Garmin GPS- Hard Drives- Computer Programs- Cell Phones-Handheld Mobile TV's- MP3 Players- Cameras- Camcorders- etc- So i'm thinking it will be Felony Charges. So, being as i am already on the run, until i find the guts to turn myself in, i was wondering if there is a Statute of Limitations on cases like this, and if so, how long until its safe to stop running?
