Vandalism: Misdemeanor or Felony
Based upon to the Florida Vandalism Law, vandalism may fall under the classification
of either a misdemeanor or a felony based
on the circumstances under which the crime was committed. Despite the mitigating
cause of vandalism; indifferential factor, juvenile mischief, creative
expression, or malicious intent, there are severe aftermath of vandalism
that include community service, probation, steep fines, and possible incarceration.
Misdemeanor
First time vandalism charges with minimal damage (less than $400) is generally
deemed a vandalism misdemeanor and comes with:
Fines for vandalism charges variety from $400 to $5,000. In some cases, a vandalism conviction could result in a one-year driver's license suspension.
Elevating a Misdemeanor to a Felony
In some cases a misdemeanor vandalism charge can be elevated to a felony
vandalism charge. A past criminal record, gang
involvement, and hate crime implications can all elevate
what would be a misdemeanor vandalism charge into a felony vandalism charge.
If a gang enhancement (a crime intended to further the gang as a whole) is charged,
then not only is the charge a felony but a "strike"
- as in Florida Three Strikes Law. Avoid
Prosecution
In Florida, particularly Orlando and Orange counties, vandals
are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law as a vandalism hinderion
initiative. Strong legal representation is critically significant for anyone who
is accused of vandalism, particularly when charged with a felony. A unmatched legal
team may take early action to improve your chances of dismissal or to secure
a reduction in charges at the pre-filing stage.
