If by "infraction" you mean a traffic infraction, you could answer NO to the misdemeanor.
Because that's the way your state legislature drafted the statute. Just because the offense turned out to be charged as a misdemeanor offense does not mean that the way it was designed to be carried out wasn't a felony, or that a misdemeanor offense could not have escalated into a felony.
infraction means - A minor violation of the law that is punishable only by a fine--for example, a traffic or parking ticket. Not all vehicle-related violations are infractions, however--refusing to identify oneself when involved in an accident is a misdemeanor in some states.misdemeanor means - A crime, less serious than a felony, punishable by no more than one year in jail. Petty theft (of articles worth less than a certain amount), first-time drunk driving and leaving the scene of an accident are all common misdemeanors.
A motor vehicle infraction occurs when a person only needs to pay a fine for the offense. This can occur when someone gets a speeding ticket.
Infraction
Yes! If the cop positively identifies you and catches up to you a few days after they can cite you. A traffic infraction is considered a misdemeanor crime and just because it happened a week ago doesn't mean it didn't happen.Added: Just as long as your infraction was personally witnessed by the officer, that is enough to satisfy the law.
Only ONE? Probably a misdemeanor. 1-99 misdemeanor. 100+ Felony (minimum 5 years jail time)
Only if there was property damage...otherwise it is not a 1st degree misdemeanor.
misdemeanor i would double check on that though but it should be that. Offense crimes are the least serious category of crime. The Five General Categories of crime are Felonies, Inchoate crimes. Misdemeanors, Treason and Espionage, Inchoate crimes and Offense crimes. Offense is sometimes applied to minor crimes like littering, speeding, jaywalking, etc.
you would be asked this for security reasons only, ex someone trying to jack your account.
Only rarely can you become a TSA with a misdemeanor. The actual type of crime and outcome of the trial would affect employment and in general the FAA does not hire anyone with any criminal record.
Yes but be careful about what you are asked. If you are asked within the last 10 years for example, you can put no. If you are asked if you have been convicted of a felony and upon discharge it became a misdemeanor (Stay of Imposition) you can put no if the question asks only about felonies. If you have had your conviction expunged then put no.
Depends on the misdemeanor. Some, such as Domestic Violence, and unlawful drug use, are a bar to possessing firearms anywhere in the US. Actually, the only disqualifying misdemeanor listed in federal law is misdemeanor for Domestic Violence.
