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.
