Q: Can you be ticketed the day after an alleged offence of being a public nuisance and having an open container in street
The police showed up and gave my neighbor those tickets today but it was yesterday. Also, the police office called him over from his own yard and asked him to step into the street to speak to him and he did but was holding an alcoholic beverage at the time
A: Depends on the offense of what he was charged with on how long the police have to issue a violation. Some violation have as little as 30 days to be issued some have up to 5 years. Speak with a lawyer to determine what the statute of limitations is on your violation.
