Is putting graffiti on a wall a felony there, then? I think that that
would probably fall under the category of "misdemeanor" here.
Misdemeanors don't affect your ability to vote, and probably don't
affect your ability to hold most jobs. A felony is a more serious crime.
Do you have any classification distinction between sorts of crimes like
that, or not? Just curious.
