Criminal Offenses in San Diego, Vista, and North County

Punishment for a criminal offense in California can vary greatly depending upon what type of crime it is, whether it is a first or subsequent offense, and more. Criminal offenses are typically classified according to the punishment they may bring. A petty offense, such as a traffic ticket or similar minor offense does not require a jail sentence. A misdemeanor involves a sentence of less than one year in county jail, and a felony carries a state prison sentence of a minimum of at least one year. This is not including any fines, probation, counseling, community service, or more, that may be included in your sentence.
