Infractions
Are the lowest level of criminal cases. These cases do not involve jail time, and are usually punished by a fine. The most common type of infractions are traffic offenses.
<span data-metadata=""><span data-buffer="">Misdemeanors
Are crimes that are less serious than felonies. Misdemeanors can be punished with up to a year in county jail, but no state prison. Misdemeanor convictions can usually be resolved by paying a fine or serving probation, or both. Typical misdemeanors are driving under the influence and drug possession.
felonies<span data-metadata="">
Felonies are serious crimes that carry heavier penalties compared to misdemeanors. Conviction of a felony can result in imprisonment for more than a year in state prison, as opposed to county jail. Felonies often involve violent acts, serious property damage, or major financial fraud. Sentencing for felonies may include lengthy prison terms, hefty fines, or both.
