The worst that they'd probably do though is put you on some sort of probation for most likely less than a year.


Yeah, that's the statute of limitations. It varies from state to state, and most notably from charge to charge. I'm not even sure there is one for felonies (murders, child molestation etc) or if so, it is very long. People have gone down for that stuff decades after. Much shorter for "victimless" crimes, but as you discovered in your state (along with the fact that cops lie), statute of limitations (for whatever you did... posession?) was at least two years.
