In Washington, as in many states, fugitive warrants can remain active indefinitely until the individual is apprehended.
In Giordenello v. United States, 357 U.S. 480 (1958) it was held that to support the issuance of a warrant the complaint must contain in addition to a statement “of the essential facts constituting the offense” (Rule 3) a statement of the facts relied upon by the complainant to establish probable cause.
Arrest and Bench Warrants: These warrants do not expire and remain active unless the court revokes them or the suspect voluntarily surrenders, dies, or is caught. In some cases, an issuing court may rescind a warrant if it believes it was issued erroneously or if new facts about the case emerge.
A stock warrant can cover any number of shares and often will have expiration dates far longer than stock options. Expiration dates of five, 10 or even 15 years are not uncommon for warrants.
Simply put, warrants never expire. However, suppose the criminal statute of limitations (SOL) has expired. In that case, you might be able to get the case dismissed for passing the time limitations. In California, the SOL for misdemeanors is generally one year from the time of the offense.
