Are you sure you don't mean Class A felony? This is the most serious felony. It can mean many years of imprisonment or even capital punishment.

Depends on jurisdiction.  Here in NYC, it means that a defendant, currently on trial or facing charges, has already been convicted of a felony.  According to the Criminal Procedure law, if one has a singled felony conviction, less than ten years before the current charges, then he could be considered a predicate felony offender, UNLESS he can prove that prior conviction arose from some abuse of his constitutional rights.  IF the accused has more than one felony conviction in the 10 year period, then he is referred to as a "persistent felony offender".

Sometimes it depends on the felony that you were convicted on.  But for the communications field I believe you are fine.  You might also consider filing a motion with the court to have the felony sealed/removed from your record.  If you have been law abiding since the conviction, consider this option.

Depends on the state that your in, although most states that I'm aware of use a letter designation for felony charges: class A, class B, class C, etc...

That all depends on the crimes. Most misdemeanors would never be enhanced to a felony.

I can think of three major categories, depending on the severity of the crime.\n\nCivil infraction - speeding ticket, etc.  Not really a crime.\n\nMisdemeanor - crime punishable by less than a year in jail.  Some states have 'high misdemeanors' that are punishable by less than 2 years in jail.\n\nFelony - crime punishable by more than a year in prison.  Capital crimes are those felonies that are punishable by death (or life in prison).  Murder is the big one here.\n\nI guess you could also categorize crimes by victims/results splitting them up into property crimes, white collar crimes, violent crimes, vice (so called victimless crimes), etc..\n\nNot all criminals are created equal.

if somebody dies as a result of a felony you are involved in committing, you are guilty of felony murder. \n\nfor example, if you and another person rob a bank, and your accomplice kills somebody, you are also guilty of that murder.

It depends on the what the statute states.  It could mean 3 violent felonies or just 3 felonies.  It could have time restrictions also; 3 felonies in 3 years.  Or other restrictions like 3 felony convictions vice 3 felony counts.  The statutes are different from state to state.  And yes, on the third conviction you go away for a long time, but once again this varies between the states.  It could be life or it could be 20 years.

depends on the court order accompanying the felony conviction.  Some felons can hold fiduciary jobs during the time of their probation, etc. Everyone's different.

If you were over 18 it will show up.  It should be in the system as a traffic violation only because in VA you could possibly get a restricted license.  It can be a misdemeanor or felony depending on the circumstances.  \n  If the question asks "Have you ever been arrested?" you better say yes because they'll find out.  Honesty is always best.

Any felony is not a misdemeanor, each state regulates there own laws, so what is a certain crime in one area may have different meanings in ohter areas.

Idenity theft in VA is a felony.  You can go to jail for 5 years.  He can also charge you with giving false information to a police officer, which is a misdemeanor.  Don't get an attorney and plead stupid.  Just say, "you honor I wasn't smart enough to tell the truth".
