Asked in Internet Law

Q: I just received a notice that my dropbox had been subpoenaed a year ago. Should I be worried?

I have not been contacted by law enforment or anyone since the compliance by Dropbox. It's been a long time so I'm wondering if the case would be even still open at this point.

A: Yes you should still be worried. Many Felonies have multiple year Statutes of Limitations. You might check various Felonies in your State that you feel might affect you, and check out the respective SOLs. Within

the SOL, Law Enforcement/Prosecutors must initiate a criminal charge.
