STATE LAWS

CIVIL CRIMES

  • Simple Assault – Misdemeanor
    • Time: 40 Months Fine: $400
      • Simple Assault involves an intentional act that causes another person to be in reasonable fear of an imminent battery. Simple assault may also involve an attempt to cause harm to another person, where that attempt does not succeed. Simple assault is typically classified as a misdemeanor offense, unless the victim is a member of a protected class, such as being a LEO, EMS, FD,Tow, Gov. Even as a misdemeanor, an assault conviction may still result in incarceration and a criminal record.
  • Verbal Assault – Misdemeanor
    • Time: 20 Months Fine: $200
      • It is unlawful for any person to willfully threaten to commit a crime which will result in death or great bodily injury to another person, with the specific intent that the statement, made verbally, in writing, or by means of an electronic communication device, is to be taken as Verbal Assault, even if there is no intent of actually carrying it out.
  • Aggravated Assault - Felony
    • Time: 60 Months Fine: $600
      • Aggravated Assault involves more serious actions, such as an assault that is committed with the intent to cause a serious bodily injury, or an assault that is committed with a deadly weapon such as a firearm. Aggravated assault is typically classified as a felony offense.
  • False Imprisonment – Misdemeanor
    • Time: 45 Months Fine: $450
      • False imprisonment or unlawful imprisonment occurs when a person intentionally restricts another person’s movement within any area without legal authority, justification, or the restrained person's permission. Actual physical restraint is not necessary for false imprisonment to occur. A false imprisonment claim may be made based upon private acts, or upon wrongful governmental detention. For detention by the police, proof of false imprisonment provides a basis to obtain a writ of habeas corpus.
  • Domestic Violence - Misdemeanor / Felony
    • Time: 50 Months Fine: $500
      • Any person who willfully inflicts corporal injury resulting in a traumatic condition upon a victim (either assault i.e intent, or battery) is guilty of a felony, and upon conviction thereof shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison, or by both that fine and imprisonment.
  • Attempted Murder – Felony
    • Time: 80 Months Fine: $800
      • Attempted murder is an inchoate crime to the US. A conviction for attempted murder requires a demonstration of an intent to murder, meaning that the perpetrator attempted to murder and failed (e.g. attempted to shoot the victim and missed or shot the victim and the victim survived).
  • Murder – Felony
    • Time: 100 Months Fine: $1000
      • Murder is the unlawful killing of another human without justification or valid excuse, especially the unlawful killing of another human with malice aforethought. This state of mind may, depending upon the jurisdiction, distinguish murder from other forms of unlawful homicide, such as manslaughter. Manslaughter is killing committed in the absence of malice brought about by reasonable provocation, or diminished capacity. Involuntary manslaughter, where it is recognized, is a killing that lacks all but the most attenuated guilty intent, recklessness.
  • Manslaughter – Felony
    • Time:80 Months Fine: $800
      • Definitions can vary among jurisdictions, but the U.S. follows the general principle that manslaughter involves causing the death of another person in a manner less culpable than murder, and observes the distinction between voluntary and involuntary manslaughter.
  • Kidnapping – Felony
    • Time: 60 Months Fine: $600
      • Kidnapping is the unlawful confinement of a person against their will, often including transportation/asportation. The asportation and abduction element is typically but not necessarily conducted by means of force or fear: the perpetrator may use a weapon to force the victim into a vehicle, but it is still kidnapping if the victim is enticed to enter the vehicle willingly (e.g. in the belief that it is a taxicab).

CRIMES AGAINST PROPERTY
  • Vandalism – Misdemeanor
    • Time: 10 Months [Normally Just Fine] Fine: $250+ Repair Cost
      • Vandalism is the action involving deliberate destruction of or damage to public or private property.
        • The term includes property damage, such as graffiti and defacement directed towards any property without permission of the owner. The term finds its roots in an Enlightenment view that the Germanic Vandals were a uniquely destructive people.
  • Loitering – Misdemeanor
    • Time: 10 Months [Normally Just Fine] Fine: $250
      • Loitering is the act of remaining in a particular public place for a prolonged amount of time without any apparent purpose.
        • While the laws regarding loitering have been challenged and changed over time, loitering is still illegal in various jurisdictions and specific circumstances.
  • Trespassing - Misdemeanor / Felony
    • Time: 20 Months [Just fine can be given depending on land owners decision] Fine: $250
      • Trespass to land involves the "wrongful interference with one's possessory rights in property / land.

      • Unlawfully attempting to take from someone or place. Caught in the act.
  • Robbery – Felony
    • Time: 45 Months Fine: $450 + Value of Victims items which were not recovered or damaged.
      • From the person or presence of the victim – Robbery requires that the property be taken directly from the person of the victim or from their presence. This is different from larceny which simply requires that property be taken from the victim's possession, actual or constructive. Property is "on the victim's person" if the victim is actually holding the property, or the property is contained within clothing the victim is wearing or is attached to a victim's body such as a watch or earrings. Property is in a person's presence when it is within the area of their immediate control. The property has to be close enough to the victim's person that the victim could have prevented its taking if he/she had not been placed in fear or intimidation.
    • By force or threat of force – The use of force or threat of force is the defining element of robbery. For there to be robbery there must be "force or fear" in perpetrating the theft. Questions concerning the degree of force necessary for robbery have been the subject of much litigation. Merely snatching the property from the victim's person is not sufficient force unless the victim resists or one of the items is attached or carried in such a way that a significant amount of force must be used to free the item from the victim's person.
  • Attempted Armed Robbery – Felony
    • Time: 50 Months Fine: $500

    • Time: 45 Months Fine: $450 + Value of Damage to Fix Victims Car.
      • When an individual steals a car, motorcycle, or any other type of motor vehicle, then that person is said to have committed grand theft auto. Since automobiles tend to be of high value, all cases of automobile theft are treated as grand theft.
  • Burglary - Misdemeanor / Felony
    • Time: 45 Months Fine: $450 + Value of Damaged or Unrecovered Items Stolen.
      • Burglary, also called breaking and entering and sometimes housebreaking, is the act of entering a building or other areas without permission, with the intention of committing a criminal offense. Usually that offense is theft, robbery or murder, but most jurisdictions include others within the ambit of burglary. To commit burglary is to burgle, a term back-formed from the word burglar, or to burglarize.
  • Arson – Felony
    • Time:60 Months Fine: $600 + Value to Repair Property.
      • Arson is a crime of willfully and maliciously setting fire to or charring property. Though the act typically involves buildings, the term arson can also refer to the intentional burning of other things, such as motor vehicles, watercraft, or forests. The crime is typically classified as a felony, with instances involving a greater degree of risk to human life or property carrying a stricter penalty.
