No amount of misdemeanors makes a felony. They don't add up like that.
North Carolina's statute of limitations are very basic and simple. Assault with a deadly weapon will be a felony. If the crime is a felony of any type there is no limit. Malicious misdemeanors have not limit either. Other misdemeanors are set at 2 years.
It would depend entirely on the state. There are a handful of states that keep DUIs as misdemeanors. But, for the most part, states will change a DUI from a misdemeanor to a felony upon the 2nd to 4th occurrence.
When a DUI becomes a felony varies greatly from state to state. There are a handful of states that keep standard DUIs as misdemeanors regardless of repeat offenses. But other factors such as child endangerment, death, or severe injury can also lead to a felony offense.
A felony crime is generally thought of as a very serious crime in many countries with similar legal systems, such as the United States and Great Britain. Less serious crimes, such as petty theft, are called misdemeanors.
Murder, or other Class A felony: no limitation. Other felonies: 5 yrs. Misdemeanors: 2 years However: If absent from the state, or whereabours are unknown: an additional 5 years
Depends how serious and if you are already on probation/house arrest. You wont necessarily go to jail for having 10 misdemeanors but you might if you have a or more than one felony
Like many things in the law - it depends. Are you givding him a false name when talking to him on the street? Are you giving him a false name while he's investigating a crime in whcih you are a suspect? Etc - etc - etc. There are too many scenarios - some may amount to a misdemeanors, and some COULD amount to a felony.
Actually, Colorado is one in the minority of states that do not make DUIs into felonies upon multiple offenses.
None. California uses three definitions to fit a crime. Infractions, which do not involve jail time and are settled by a fine. Examples of infractions are traffic violations, jay-walking or trespassing. The next step up in seriousness is the Misdemeanor. In California there are no classes of misdemeanors. Misdemeanors are offenses that may have jail time up to a year imposed and fines up to $10,000. Misdemeanors may include minor domestic violence, shoplifting and D.U.I. And the most serious offenses are of course Felonies. So basically in California it's either an infraction, misdemeanor or felony.

It's not always the number of previous DUI tickets that causes one to be a felony rather than a misdemeanor. Three DUIs in seven years makes the next a felony, but a single DUI that causes injury can be a felony.
