    Default Statute Of Limitations For Evading And Eluding

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Florida

    If an officer pulls a car over and then the car takes off, then the officer sees it about a month later, can he pull them over just based on the fact that it ran the first time? Due to the fact that this is a felony, is there a statute of limitations on evading and eluding a police officer? Or can they pull the car over at any time for just that reason alone?

    Thanks

    No SOL for felony charges and yes, it's perfectly legal.

    I have to respectfully disagree with Mike. A lower level felony must be "prosecuted" within, see link...


    The fact you committed a felony, as you say it is, is more than enough probable cause to not only seize you (pull you over) but arrest without a warrant.

    If a warrant was issued after the initial fact, then that tolls the SOL.
