Statute of limitations only applies if he wasn't charged with the crime at the time. A lawyer will get this matter taken care of. If you want to do it yourself, you need to call the State Attorney's office for that area, and speak to a prosecutor. It will take some time, but it is doable.

To be sure that we're all on the same page here, the warrant is for you, not just someone with the same name, correct? Birth date, description, match as well, correct?

Ok here's my situation, I'm a newbie and have been hired by a company driving regional. Here's the problem I have been searching heavily for a company to hire me with my checkered background, and luckily someones finally given me a chance, only to find out I have a misdemeanor warrant in Florida, a state I've never been in.

I found out through one of the companies I was applying to about the charge, its from 1996 operating a water vehicle in a unauthorized area, I have no idea how this happened being how I was 16 at the time, never been to Florida or know anything about Florida. Yet in still the charge is there.

So I alerted my recruiter of the situation, she informed me that it did not show up on my background check so she wasn't to worried about it, but she appreciated my honesty. Here the main thing though I'M STILL WORRIED ABOUT IT!!!!!!!! I mean who wouldn't be, this could be just a simple mistake, or something serious like identity theft.

My question is this what would you do if it was you, go ahead go to the company don't worry about it (this isn't happening, as far as not worrying about it) just pay the fine (basically pleading guilty) to get the warrant removed, mind you its a misdemeanor and it would be on my record now instead of 96 thats my biggest problem with paying it off. Or maybe just wait to start driving until I get this all cleared up, but then the job I'm approved for might be filled after waiting, ugghhhh!!!!

Any advice is very well appreciated ahead of time, thanks and be safe!

I appreciate you being as straight up as you are being right now, I know they lie I've already experienced this first hand, so your definitely right on that note. I have tried to handle it over the phone, and was told I had to write the judge. Which I've done now I'm waiting on a response. Hopefully it will be resolved before my orientation, thanks again for your help

This is something I never thought of doing, calling the district attorney, I'm going to try that today thanks for the advice.

As far as I know, none of my friends ever been to Florida either, but then again, maybe they went used my name then didn't tell me they went hmmmmm lol

Somethings not adding up. How did you get your info to write the judge when the Clerks office and the courts are closed at that time?

No one I know of would tell you or say something to the effect of "Write the judge" They would tell you to get in touch with District Attorney or the Assistant DA and or the Clerk of Court.

The 3500.00 fee for an attorney isn't accurate either. Call me skeptical but what I'm seeing are inconsistencies in your story.

If I'm wrong, I'll be the first to apologize, but for now, I'd like to hear your side to the above.

I'll also do you a favor and tell you right now, if this charge was back from 1996 and you get a court date and show up and maintain your claim "It wasn't me" if the charging officer doesn't show up, no longer works for the agency that charged you, either the DA or the judge will dismiss the charge. You've got that going in your favor.

In the event, the charging officer does show up, there's a good chance he may not or can't remember if it was you or not. If that happens, same outcome.

Just a tip. They're called State Attorneys and Assistant State Attorneys down here. DA's are a northern thing

This would be a great outcome, the only thing the charging officer could say is it isn't him, being I've never and I do mean EVER stepped foot in Florida.

I'm trying if at all l possible not to have to take a trip down there, but if I have to, to clear this mess up I will. I don't really have the money to burn to go down there, but this is important.

You have a right to be skeptical to each is own, I wrote the judge asking to plea by mail roughly, about a week ago. This advice was given to me by the clerks office, in the county that the boating charge was committed.

My first, excuse me second call was to a lawyer down in the said county. He told me being how the charge was old, he would have to dig for my files, find out if the charging officer was still around, petition to the court etc etc.... That's why it cost so much.

Now if writing the judge makes you skeptical, I can pm you the email the chief clerk sent to me as far as handling this case, and writing the judge. Just pm me I'll send u what they sent me, I have no reason to come to a forum and start lieing lol
