Is it a felony where you live?

That term doesn't exist in the legal language where I live. And I don't know your term well enough to know what it maps to in our law.

In the United States, there's felonies and misdemeanors. Felonies are a big deal, and misdemeanors are a small deal.

Felonies carry sentences over a year, and time is served in state or federal prison, not in a local jailhouse.
