text: is there a statue of limitations for a warrant in wisconsin? me and a friend are argueing about this. statutes of limitation don't apply to warrants, only to the crime (ie rape in ny has a 7 year statute of limitation). so to answer your question technically a warrant has no 'statute of limitations', but since there is a statute of limitations on most crimes (exceptions are crimes such as murder) essentially the warrant wouldn't be valid if the crime charged with in it exceeded the statute of limitations.
