Only if there is fraud. For example, I subscribe to a magazine under a false name, and I send them a money order. While I got the magazine under false pretenses, they were not defrauded and thus no crime occurs.
It also depends on the amount. If the fraud involves small amounts of money it may only be a misdemeanor.
Hey , I'm going through the same thing myself, court case pending for OPUFP(Obtaining Property Under False Pretenses.) in NC. They don't play around with crime PERIOD here. I have four counts all felonies. Didn't do any of it just hung with the wrong people, however to answer your question: Even for a total sum as small as $1.00 from OPUFP, in NC it's a class "I" felony.
This would be defined by the state where it occurs but probably is decided based on the value of the property.
No. A misdemeanor.
It could possibly be dependent upon the value of the property and the circumstances of the offense. Did it cross the line into a felony offense or not? If so, they probably might.
In most states it is a misdemeanor if there is only property damage, and a felony if there is bodily injury.
A felony is not a misdemeanor, and a misdemeanor is not a felony.
It depends on the dollar value of the property that was obtained by false pretenses.
In most states it would be a felony.
Over $500 is a felony - any amount below $500 is a misdemeanor. La Rs 14:56
Yes, there is a statute of limitations for theft in North Carolina. If it is a felony or a malicious misdemeanor, there is no limitation. If it is another type of misdemeanor, it would be two years.
No, a High Court Misdemeanor is not a Felony. a Misdemeanor is a Misdemeanor and Felony is a higher different judgement.
A DUI is typically classified as a misdemeanor in North Carolina for a first offense, but it can be charged as a felony if aggravating factors are present, such as prior DUI convictions or serious injury caused by the impaired driver.
Personally I am unfamiliar with the LA statute but in many (most?) jurisdictions whether it is classified as a felony or a misdemeanor depends on the dollar amount of the property in question. (e.g.: possession of a stolen tricycle would be a misdemeanor, but possession of a stolen truck would be a felony)
The value of the property would control what charges are filed and it could be filed as a felony or misdemeanor depending on the value of the property.
