In California, criminal offenses are classified as infractions, misdemeanors or felonies.
- Infractions, such as traffic violations, are punishable by a fine and no jail time.
- Misdemeanor crimes are considered more serious than infractions but less serious than felonies, and carry a punishment of less than 1 year in jail and a fine of up to $1,000.
- Felonies are serious offenses that generally carry a jail sentence (possibly state prison) of one year or more.
