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
