While many consider traffic offenses only as minor offenses in the grand scale of the criminal legal system, there is a wide range of criminal activity that can be deemed crimes-from felonies to infractions-with some being just as serious in damage incurred and punishment ordered than one would think. State traffic court records can be accessed online for a variety of infractions.
Felony Traffic Violations
Felony traffic offenses are another classification of crimes that states have the jurisdiction to carry out, and are the most serious of this particular criminal charge. In this category on Felony Traffic Violations, we examine the nature of these crimes, as well as define examples of such offenses, and give typical punishments.
Misdemeanor Traffic Violations
Each state determines what may be a misdemeanor criminal charge regarding traffic crimes, but typically the standardized rule throughout all states is that a misdemeanor is committed if it: causes a "a threat of injury to a person or property? or "an actual injury to a person or property?. In this category, Misdemeanor Traffic Violations, we review the most common of crimes in this classification, by nature, offense, and typical court punishment.
Driving Records
Driving records can offer inside criminal information on a person's traffic crimes with applicable fines and punishment; but few novice seekers understand how accessibility to these criminal records work. In this category on Driving Records, we take a closer look at how public accessibility to them is regulated on a federal basis by the Federal Driver's Privacy Protection Act, and what purpose this statute serves.
Infractions
Traffic infractions are another means that states have to classify certain driving offenses; and this branch serves the majority of driving offenses committed on the road. In our Infractions category, you'll find information on what infractions are, the best examples of such, and also what penalties are typical of these violations.
DUI Records
DUI criminal records list traffic incidents in which the offender was Driving Under the Influence of alcohol or drugs. Depending on a number of factors, the crimes and penalties listed within a criminal record of this nature can be greatly influenced. In this DUI Records category, we look at what variables affect the contents of a criminal DUI record.
DWI Records
Some states use both DWI and DUI criminal records depending on the serious nature of the traffic violation. This said, DWI or Driving While Intoxicated typically denotes the lesser serious of charges of this nature. In this DWI Records category, we evaluate what DWI is, and what factors can influence its presence in a criminal record.
