What is the minor violation of the law?
A minor violation of the law is typically a non-criminal offense that results in a small penalty or fine. It may include infractions like speeding tickets, parking violations, or minor trespassing. These violations are generally considered less serious than criminal offenses and do not result in a criminal record.
Nature of offense?
The nature of the offense is in regard to whether it was a property crime, domestic violence crime, motor vehicle violation, drunk driving offense, drug related crime, sexual assault, white collar crime and if it was violent or weapons were involved during the criminal act. Obviously when someone is physically harmed during a crime (whether the injury was intentional or not), the nature of the crime is more severe than say a property crime where no one was physically injured. For example, consider that 4 criminals go in to rob a bank. Only 1 of them has a gun and the other 3 were unaware that their accomplice was armed. If anyone is harmed or killed during the robbery, the nature of the offense for all 4 becomes a violent crime (from armed robbery to first degree murder) regardless of whether they intended any harm or were armed themselves.
