In California, the main distinction between a felony and a misdemeanor is that a misdemeanor offense carries a maximum sentence of one year in the county jail, whereas a felony conviction may result in a sentence of up to life in prison.
Infractions are the least serious type of criminal offense and typically include minor traffic violations, and minor fish and wildlife violations. Infractions do not result in any kind of jail sentence; they typically result only in fines and points on a driving record, DMV record, or fish and wildlife record.
A misdemeanor offense is typically more serious than an infraction, and includes driving under the influence, driving on a suspended license, assault and battery, shoplifting, prostitution, drunk in public, and general controlled substance offenses that do not involve the sale of a controlled substance.
Felony convictions have serious consequences. A person who has received a felony conviction loses the right to vote while they’re in prison or on parole, likely loses the ability to obtain and maintain employment, and loses the ability to enlist in the military or remain in the military. The biggest issue for my clients is that a felony conviction results in the loss of the right to own or possess firearms, as well as ineligibility for many professional licenses. A felony conviction also results in an exclusion from jury service in California.
