Arrest warrants.

I got a call on the phone today from a cop.He said he was looking for a
guy I know.That he was a witness a while back and did he live in the same
place.I said up to six weeks ago yes but think he may have moved.
Then he said well it is not him but another guy I knew that he is after and
there are arrest warrants out for him and the cop would like to meet with
him.
Is there a limitation on warrants for selling class a and having a deadly
weapon. Shocked

Is there a time limit to enforce the warrent

Not sure what you mean about 'limitation' on a warrant. There is no time limit though, if the warrant has been issued its there till it is served.

I just tought the term of the warrent was up so that was why I got a
call.
As a last chance to get the guy.
I cant see why they would phone me.
I have no record or problem with them.

Might not even have been the police, in a previous job I used to hold, we'd phone & visit people posing as anything we felt useful for getting the answers. Popular with tracing agents is calling at the neighbours and asking for the person they're looking for, the neighbour says "Oh no, this is the wrong house... You want number 14." Job done, address confirmed.

We used to call it "Using a pretext." Its just lying really. Cool

Not sure about criminal law, I don't think there is a statute of limitation, for civil law its 6 years. I had a 7 day producer which I was told got dumped after 2 years, I imagine it'll be different for carrying an offensive weapon and posession.

I'm pretty sure there is no statute of limitations on a criminal offence, especially indictable ones.

I thought after five years the warrant ended if the offence was for drug
pushing or something like that.
At least it's not me he is looking for. Smile

I phoned the station he said he was at and they confirmed that he is.

Thank's.

I can't understand why they would be telling you sensitive information over the phone.
They clearly are grasping at straws trying to find him when there are many other ways to locate / trace a person including Council tax office, Job Centre (if he's a slacker), solicitor last used, benefits agency etc. Last place i would try is his old flatmate.

Maybe a bogus call, could be a fellow scally looking to do a hit.

You only need fit the profile to be a cop it seems.

Some of the ones I have had the hilarious pleasure in meeting recently would be hopeless at Snap.

I do not know what they teach them at training college.

Spelling and how to use those stupid words they use when interviewed on telly. Laughing

It's not that hard to be a 'Criminal Master Mind' now then.
