Time limit to file charges?

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Kansas My hubby had a motorcycle accident in May 2009. He was not ticketed for anything. Now 5 months later we get a letter from the mvd stating that he didnt have insurance at the time and forms need to be filled out. He DID have insurance and the proof was in the motorcycle, I watched the police take it out of the motorcycle. So, I go to our local police chief and he says that the insurance area on the report is blank. Oh and that they are going to charge him with DUI, but not until sometime after the first of the year. They say his blood count was .08 which I know is bull, yes he had had a beer or half a beer actually. This was a new police officer. What are our options now?

The insurance charge is obviously rebuttable if they even proceed. The MVD should be satisfied with a letter for your insurance company (that's pretty straight forward for them to issue).

Yeah, they have two years to file the DUI charges, so yeah the wheels of justice do not move that swiftly.

Your options now are to find a lawyer so that these can be aggressively fought as soon as the charges are filed.

Pretty simple. Contact the insurance company and get a WRITTEN confirmation of insurance coverage. Send it to the MVD.
Then sit back and wait for the DUI charge to be filed. If it is, he needs to get an attorney.
