Yes
If you mean as opposed to just a plain traffic ticket offense? Yes, it is.
The ARREST record will still reflect that the arrest was for a felony offense, HOWEVER, if you are asked if you were ever CONVICTED of a felony, you can truthfully answer 'no.'
In most cities public consumption of alcohol or carry/opened container of alcohol is a Municipal Ordiance which equates to a misdemeanor and yes it is a criminal offense.
Yes.
Blocking a driveway is not a criminal offense, unless you refuse to move. You may get a ticket for blocking a driveway depending on where it is.
A nuisance party ticket may result in a citation or fine but typically does not go on your criminal record as it is considered a minor offense. However, repeat offenses or more serious incidents may have different consequences.
Traffic tickets which are arrestable depend on the location where you receive the traffic ticket. It also depends on if the traffic offense is considered a crime or non-criminal activity. If the location considers the traffic offense a crime, you may be arrested.
A misdemeanor, as far as I know, can't be "pardoned" in the sense that criminal convictions can from enditable offences or summary offences. However, there is no need for it! You need a pardon for a "criminal background check" or for crossing international lines. A misdemeanor, like a speeding ticket, does not show up for such checks. Perhaps you are confusing the offense in question as a misdemeanor because it is minor? there are many "minor" offenses that are considered summary offenses like harasment, or vandalism. Basically, any offense that a police officer can just hand you a ticket with a fine on it, and you don't have to appear in court at all is a misdemeanor, but I can't be sure about ALL cases, just MOST cases. :::: Acutally tickets that MOST people get from police officers, ie speeding, seat belt violations, failure to stop at a stop sign, are not misdemeanors in the sense that a say second offense OWI charge is Wisconsin. These first examples are traffic tickets and not criminal. Misdemeanors are criminal cases, its a lesser offense than a felony but none the less a criminal violation, where as speeding, unless maybe a reckless driving ticket is only a traffic ticket.
In North Carolina, receiving a ticket for having an open container in a car is considered a misdemeanor offense, which could result in a fine but not jail time. However, if there are additional charges or if the offense is connected to other criminal activity, the consequences could be more severe.
When a person receives a ticket for a civil or criminal traffic offense, the ticket will stay on your record whether it was paid or not. The state of Texas also uses a point system against a persons driving record.
Then why did you add it to the Traffic Violation and Ticket category? If it is not a traffic violation then it is most likely a minor misdemeanor offense. A misdemeanor is a crime, therefore, it WILL show up on your adult criminal record.
Not directly. An example of a non criminal offense would be a ticket for a traffic violation such as speeding. However, if the recipient of the citation does not follow the required court procedure he or she might end up being charged under a criminal statute and facing fines and/or incarceration.
