What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? ca

If a while back a cop car window got busted...

what would be the statute of limitations thing on that?
would statements from people be enough evidence?
what if someone was on probation now but wasn't then - does that effect either how a new charge turns out or the probation?
what are possible charges and consequences anyway? is a cop car window worse than...say, your neighbor's car window? are there different charges?

a car sitting parked on a street by the way, not moving, not with people inside.

(anyone know how much a replacement window goes for anyway?)

What led you to break the window on a police car?

And just what does this thread have to do with juvenile law?

One year if only the one window was broken, three years of enough windows were broken to cost over $400 to replace.

would statements from people be enough evidence?
Most likely, yes.

what if someone was on probation now but wasn't then - does that effect either how a new charge turns out or the probation?
It can effect how they are treated, yes. I am not sure if they can violate your probation for something you did prior to being put on probation, but I imagine they can choose to revoke it.

There are additional offenses that might come into play, but we don't know why or how the window was broken, so we can't say. All things being even, the charge will be a misdemeanor (for vandalism).

(anyone know how much a replacement window goes for anyway?)
That depends on the car.

wow. 1 year.....365 days.....what if they figure it all out 369 days later, can they get any extension if it's close to a year?

one window is less than $400?

revoke and then resentence?

Are you talking pc594 or something? what sort of 'additional'?

Tough. PC 802

With probation, imposition of sentence is suspended for whatever.. 36 months lets say. They will usually either dismiss the VOP, revoke and reinstate, leaving conditions or modifying them (like giving them extra jail time etc) or they revoke, terminate prob as unsuccessful, and impose their sentence... ie into the slamma they go.-

Thank you.

365 days....that ship has sailed, but you can still the faces of the people on board to wave.

That explains the flurry of activity. So, if there was a current/ongoing investigation but no charges yet...365+ days is absolutely no good?

They're ok, probation is ok?

If it has been more than a year, I doubt they are going to be able to do much ... Though thee are possibilities like, say, they can prove a conspiracy of some sort. But, frankly, the cops are not going to waste a lot of time looking into it. Heck,they probably stopped looking a few days after it happened unless they had leads then. It's just not worth the time and effort.

And, yes, 594(b)(2) PC.

They have their suspicions....they asked questions for a few days at the time and then again just recently (I guess cos 365 days was about to pass...?)...I think it still bugs them...
But I guess it goes nowhere now.
