Federal Crimes Vs. State Crimes
Most crimes are state crimes, which are the crimes handled by county, sheriff's, local police officers, and state agents. Examples of state crimes include drug possession, sexual assault, battery, and driving while under the influence (DWI).
Federal crimes comprise the US government or one of its entities. A crime where a person crosses state lines or includes criminal wrongdoings in multiple states classifies as a federal crime. Additionally, immigration charges result in federal charges.
On the other hand, fraud, money laundering, and conspiracy could fall under either category, depending on the case. For instance, if you fraudulently file for Medicare benefits, that would be considered a federal crime. In rare cases, a charge could fall under both classifications.
