what is the statue of limitations on prosecuting a misdemeanor in florida bad checks?
Generally speaking you can expect a statute of limitations to be 5 years, however, as with everything else in the law, this may vary. For example, it is very likley the bad check was offered to the State Attorney for prosecution soon after its uttering. If so, the prosecution may have begun within the 5 year window. It may just have taken 5 years to find you and bring you to court. The fact you may just now face this charge is not how the limitation is determined, but rather when the prosecution began.
