WHAT CRIMES FALL UNDER THE FEDERAL COURT SYSTEM

One can only hope to never be charged with a crime. But if you are arrested, let’s hope
that the crime does not fall under the Federal Court’s jurisdiction, which can be a very
daunting place to be when your freedoms and liberties are being restricted. Federal
crimes carry much harsher sentences than State Court.

A crime will fall within the Federal Court’s jurisdiction generally if a Federal law
enforcement agency (i.e., FBI, DEA, ICE, USPS, etc.) is investigating the crime and/or if
the crime falls within the jurisdiction of Federal statutes.

Federal crimes include but are not limited to:
Drug Offenses/Trafficking

Firearm Offenses

Homicide

Assault

Kidnapping

Bank Robbery

Sexual Abuse

Child Pornography

Theft

Embezzlement

Counterfeiting and Forgery

Crimes involving the US Mail

Crimes involving Maritime matters

Fraud

Money Laundering

Immigration

Conspiracy
