Anything less than that is a misdemeanorRobbery- stealing by force or a threat of force; sometimes called armed robbery if there is a run or a knife involved- This is considered a felony regardless of the amount taken, even if it is one penny that you robbed- Using force is the basis for the chargeArson- burning or causing an explosion on someone else’s property, or technically your own property if you don’t 100% own it; has to show that someone purposely started a fire- Restaurant in KC called Herferd House burnt down and there was a big arson charge- Almost always a felony because people could die in the fireForgery- several ways you can commit it: changing the terms of a written document without the owners permission, represent that you are someone that you are not; saying that something possesses a quality or a feature that it does not have- Ex: credit card receipt, tip left was $5 but the server buts a 1 in front of the 5 and gives himself $15, this is considered forgery- Ex: signing a persons name without their permission, has to be shown that you had the intention of fraud- Ex: Selling mark mcquire autographed jerseys but they actually were not real—this is considered forgery- The amount of money is not relevant in considering the seriousness of this eventIdentity theft- the defendant stealing or wrongfully taking a portion or a representation of someone’s identity- Ex: could be a social security number, credit card number, name, date of birth, passwordsPassing bad checks- If you write a check and it does not clear, with the intent to defraud; so, writing a check and knowing that you have no intention for it to be actually paid- Felony if the check is worth $500 or more- If it is a closed account it is a felony regardless of the amount- Checks aren’t really used anymore so businesses don’t have to deal with this as muchCounterfeit money- making counterfeit money or using it; this is a federal crime, always; the U.S. secret service will investigate these casesProstitution- the exchange of money for sexual conduct; it is legal in three counties in Nevada but illegal in the rest of the country- Human trafficking- selling people across borders, selling people into slavery including sexual slavery; exists all over the world and the U.S.; one of the biggest worldwide criminal issues that all countries are dealing with right nowo ECPAT (spelling?)- company that established a code of conduct and approached hotels, airlines, public transit companies and asked them to partner in trying to spot human
