Technically a misdemeanor (well, two), not a felony.

That would be a misdemeanor, not a felony.

danneu | karma 1932 | avg karma 2.48 · | 2011-06-17 17:38:06+00:00

But it's a felony.

tomschlick | karma 4115 | avg karma 4.31 · | 2019-05-02 23:27:59+00:00

It's still illegal. It's just a misdemeanor, not a felony.

A misdemeanor is a criminal offense, even if it does not involve jail time.

juliangregorian | karma 652 | avg karma 1.22 · | 2015-06-02 16:23:07+00:00

It's not a felony.

Aren’t the charges misdemeanors?

whiddershins | karma 6988 | avg karma 3.65 · | 2024-01-03 16:21:15

Misdemeanor is still a criminal record.

hackerbabz | karma 451 | avg karma 2.87 · | 2019-09-06 04:49:58+00:00

Which, I'm pretty sure is technically a felony.

staticassertion | karma 12534 | avg karma 3.12 · | 2021-05-22 00:20:10+00:00

I think it's a misdemeanor here.

Wrong. Misdemeanors are crimes

hn_throwaway_99 | karma 68064 | avg karma 8.17 · | 2022-11-27 23:15:52

Misdemeanors are still very much crimes.

mertd | karma 2403 | avg karma 3.64 · | 2022-11-27 23:14:58

It's not a crime. It is a misdemeanor, as in, it will never land you in jail.

rayiner | karma 121493 | avg karma 4.24 · | 2013-06-10 17:09:17+00:00

Uh, felony.

googthrowaway42 | karma 413 | avg karma 1.84 · | 2020-11-08 01:38:20+00:00

He said criminal, not felon. A misdemeanor is a class of crimes.

nraynaud | karma 3750 | avg karma 1.83 · | 2014-04-26 22:30:49

he's got a misdemeanor.

sexoffender | karma 1 | avg karma 0.03 · | 2018-03-29 17:35:58+00:00

It is a misdemeanor, but a second offense turns it into a felony automatically. My lawyer could not get it back down to a misdemeanor. I am utterly and completely screwed.

anigbrowl | karma 91010 | avg karma 3.36 · | 2012-01-02 08:39:14

So why is the offense described as a misdemeanor?

michaelfeathers | karma 2485 | avg karma 3.59 · | 2013-01-17 07:46:12+00:00

Misdemeanor rather than felony would be a good direction.

ComputerGuru | karma 29702 | avg karma 4.11 · | 2017-02-16 15:37:16+00:00

There are increasingly two types of law in the USA: felony punishable by no less than x, and misdemeanor punishable by no more than y.

I've taken to sighing and accepting y and just being grateful it's not a felony if I do it. Felonies are bad, you'll lose your rights, you can't vote, they're harder on you in court, and they follow you everywhere.

I'll take misdemeanors for $1000, Alex.
