Hello everyone,
My daughter has come into contact with a possible legal matter and a few colleagues referred me to this forum. My 18 year old daughter just informed me that she lost her wallet that contained a fake ID. She is nervous because she heard that if it is turned into the police, they can press charges and issue a warrant for her arrest. Is this true? What is the likeliness of that happening? She said that fake ID was hidden amongst her credit cards and her real license was clearly visible. Will the police search throughout the whole wallet or just look for a contact specification? Does anyone know if there is a certain amount of time the wallet has to be turned in in order for them to be able to press charges? I know that misdemeanors have a statute of limitations of one year, I don't know if that applies to when the crime was actually committed? In other words do they have to charge her in a certain amount of time? We cancelled her credit cards and issued a new license as soon as it was misplaced so I believe that this clarifies when the wallet was actually lost. Is this something I should be worried about? How will the police contact us if the wallet is turned in? This all happened in Maryland. How do you actually know if there is a warrant for your arrest? Sorry about all of the questions, I am a worried mom. Thank you for your input.
