A federal crime or offense is something made illegal or defined as criminal by a federal government. An example of a federal offense is identity theft.
It can be. It depends on what you vandalize. For example: It IS a federal crime to vandalize a reproductive health care facility by gluing locks or pouring butyric acid.
It is a federal crime, which can result in federal time.
It is a federal crime to kill anyone.
"Harboring a Fugitive" can be either a federal OR a state crime depending on whether the wanted individual was wanted on either a federal or a state crime.
I don't know what that is, but income tax evasion is a federal crime.
It would be a Federal Crime.
No, not unless the federal interest is involved.
An Indictment.
Only if it is used to cross state lines, and, in the commission of another federal crime. However, I seriously doubt that any Federal Prosecutor has pursued a conviction on this "minor" crime.
In general no, but there are certain situations where murder (with or without a firearm) becomes a federal crime.
State is the actual state you live in. Each state has a different variation of each law to fit the needs of their particular area. Some states, for example, consider the legal age of consent as 16 whereas others consider it 18 or even 21. A state court system deals with the acts that the individual state deems illegal. Federal courts on the other hand deal with the laws that govern the entire country. For example, robbing a bank is considered a federal crime because the US Treasury and the F.D.I.C. both deal directly with the banks. Another example of federal based crimes would be any crime that takes place between more than one state. An example of this would be computer crimes over the internet such as hacking. One perfect example of the difference between the two would be robbery. If you rob a person's house, for example, its a state crime. If you rob a bank, its a federal crime.
