Crimes & Punishments
Under state law, misdemeanor crimes are punished by up to one year in county jail and/or a fine of up to $1,000. The law designates punishments by the crime in California, and not by a class system like in other states. This means that in each unique case, there is a specific statute governing how the matter is prosecuted.
Examples of potential misdemeanor crimes include:
- Prostitution or other sex crimes
- White collar crimes
- Certain weapons charges such as carrying a weapon without a permit
- Fraud or identity theft
- Certain assault and battery charges
- Petty theft
- Issues related to driving privileges, such as DUI or driving on a suspended license
