This page is about a bill. That means that it's not the law yet, but some people want it to be the law. It could change quickly, and some of the information is just a draft.

Arms Bill

Further offences and firearms prohibition orders - Provisions relating to offences

282: Time for prosecutions not limited

You could also call this:

"You can be charged with a crime at any time if you break the Arms Bill rules."

Illustration for Arms Bill

If you break the rules in the proposed Arms Bill, you can be prosecuted. The time limit for prosecutions, as stated in the Criminal Procedure Act 2011, does not apply here. This means you can be charged with an offence at any time.
