Violating trespass warning - arrest after the fact?
<p>If you have a trespass warning and visit the place but are not arrested, can you be charged later from video evidence or a credit card transaction?</p>

<p>Yes, you can be charged later.</p>

<p>Generally speaking crimes like trespassing have a statute of limitations that is in the months or years or duration, and charges can be pressed resulting in an arrest at any time within the statute of limitations. </p>

<p>Usually people are not arrested later on because it is hard to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the crime took place, but there is no hard and fast requirement that an arrest for trespassing happen while the crime is being committed. </p>

<p>Also, usually only law enforcement officers are allowed to arrest people after the fact for crimes - citizen's arrests are usually only allowed when someone is in the process of committing a crime.</p>
