Criminal statute of limitations should be abolished

I hate that whole viewpoint that the criminals shouldn't be punished because they haven't been caught for years. The fact that they got away with their crime for years should actually be a reason to give them even harsher sentencing. The statute of limitations is basically a reward for further bad behavior by the criminal. It's basically rewarding the criminal for hiding evidence and threatening witnesses and refusing to turn themselves in to the police for years.

Criminal statutes of limitations are also really bizarrely short. Statute of limitations are 3-4 years for felonies in Florida. The statute of limitations is 5 years in federal court. People seem to think that the statute of limitations is 20 years or something like that, but it's actually not even close to that.

And statute of limitations are basically an entirely American thing that doesn't exist in any other country in the world. You can look up UK and Canada newspapers and see people there get prosecuted for crimes that occurred 25 years ago. Interesting how the soft on crime liberals who want to emulate Europe and Canada never mention that.
