Re: Is there a time limit for the DA to pick up charges after an arrest?
A friend told me 25 days when facing the same issue but I am just visiting here so call the DA's office and ask
Cal. Penal CodeS 853.6(e). Notably, "[t]he failure by the prosecutor to file the notice or formal complaint within 25 days of the time of the arrest shall not bar further prosecution of the misdemeanor charged in the notice to appear. However, any further prosecution shall be preceded by a new and separate citation or an arrest warrant." |
