A misdemeanor is a less serious criminal offense compared to a felony, typically punishable by fines, community service, probation, or imprisonment for up to one year. Common examples include petty theft, simple assault, and driving under the influence (DUI). Misdemeanors can still result in a criminal record, impacting employment and other aspects of life. The specific classification and penalties for misdemeanors can vary by jurisdiction.

Can you be ticketed for lewdness?

I do not think a ticket is what you get, Lewdness carries different degrees ranging from misdemeaner to felony, especially for lewdness with a Minor. You will be arrested and booked for the charge. In the case of a misdemeaner some jurisdictions may have some sort of ticket that they hand out in lieu or a trip to jail but you would have to check in your local area.
