Re: felony probation violations

Whether a crime is charged as a felony or a misdemeanor makes a big difference in the life of the person charged. For one thing, a felony generally carries much more severe penalties than a misdemeanor, even when they are otherwise the same crime. Felony charges carry more time in prison or jail and higher fines, and are less likely than misdemeanors to offer parole, diversion programs or other alternative penalties.

And in California, a felony charge can be extremely serious regardless of what the crime was.
