What is involved in a Class A Misdemeanor in New York State?
143649
A Class A Misdemeanor is a crime that is considered serious enough to serve up to 1yr in jail.\n\n"Misdemeanor" means an offense, other than a "traffic infraction," for which a sentence to a term of imprisonment in excess of fifteen days may be imposed, but for which a sentence to a term of imprisonment in excess of one year cannot be imposed. \n\nCriminal solicitation in the fourth degree is a class A misdemeanor.

Civil contempt: conditional jail sentence, fine not more than $250.00, costs and expenses of the proceedings, damages to injured party (including attorneys fees). He may not get all or any. Depends on the judge. \n\nCriminal contempt: fixed jail sentence up to 30 days, fine of not more than $250.00, costs and expenses of the proceedings, damages to injured party (including attorneys fees). Again, depends on judge. \n\nDon't get me started. I used to work with victims of domestic violence in New York State. It was exceedingly rare for a man to get a fine or any jail time for violating an order of protection. I hope you have better luck than that. Make sure you make a police report and/or file a violation in Family Court (wherever you got your order). I know it's frustrating, but the only hope you have is to keep sending him the message that you will no longer tolerate his behavior! Keep up the good work! And if you want to talk you can contact me. God Bless!

Don't bother with the media.  Don't bother with looking for case law.\n\nSpend a few minutes looking around the New York Department of Criminal Justice DCJS Office of Public Safety website at:\n\nhttp://criminaljustice.state.ny.us/ops/index.htm\n\nAnd get yourself an education.  It could be that what you're describing is perfectly proper within your state.  If it is, but you still don't think this officer should be working unsupervised, contact the chief of police with your concerns.  Some would suggest that if the chief does not satisfy your frustrations you should go to the governing body for your city (city council, etc), but I don't know how useful that would be.  They will only know what you tell them and what the chief tells them, and who do you think they will believe in the long run?\n\nIf talking to the chief doesn't changes things, I guess it would be best to tell the chief that are you concerned enough that you will take the issue public and will speak with the City Council.  If you actually do that, and see no changes, then I'd say the media is a fair bet.  \n\nI'd check out the website first.  Then I'd talk to the chief if I was still concerned.

any felony is serious, A means there is violence to another person, or persons, IE: murder, arson, manslaughter and so on. Class C is most often a crime against property, like auto theft, some traffic violations, are any crime that does not have violence involved with them. Your friend is in trouble, some states like Oregon, California or Washington can send you to jail for life after three felonies no matter what class they are....looking for new friends might be a good pass time..

It probably varies from state to state, but the two exceptions I know of are: (1) if you did jail time for something that was only a misdemeanor; not a felony and (2) if the crime was committed as a juvenile. I don't know if these hold in all states, however.

Charges vary by state. In Texas the charge is called "Failure to Identify  " and I believe it is a class b misd.\nThat means County Court and probation.

Filing a false report is a class c misdemeanor, which is punishable by up to 30 days in jail and $1,250 in fines. These sorts of things are often lowered to "violations" though, meaning that you would just pay a fine.

Well, depends on what kind of assualt, if your talking Aggravated assault then thats the wore one, but battery usually goes hand in hand with assualt. I think assualt can be a felony, depending on what kinda assault, but misconduct is just a misdemenor.
