Infractions are
defined as crimes (usually traffic tickets) which carry only a
fine as possible punishment. Here's the rub: if you get too many
tickets, you lose your drivers license. We all know what that means to
our businesses and personal life styles here in California.
An important use for
infractions, from the standpoint of a more serious criminal offense
(misdemeanor) is the possible plea-bargained alternative to more serious
charges, such as a DUI.
Infraction fines can be
considerable in cases of speeding or reckless driving reduced to an
infraction from a misdemeanor.
An example of a non-vehicular
infraction is a "ticket" for possession of less than an ounce of
marijuana, with a maximum one hundred dollar fine.
Municipal and county ordinances, and
many other technical violations of law, such as fish and game
regulations, are usually punishable only as infractions
