A Felony is an offense for which a sentence to a term of imprisonment in excess of one year may be imposed (New York State Penal Law, Article 10). A Felony is a crime. There are five (5) categories and two (2) sub categories of Felonies (A-1, A-II, B, C, D, and E) ranging from the most to least serious in terms of severity of offense and the degree of potential punishment incurred.
DWI/DWAI Defense
Report
The first offense is Driving While Ability Impaired (DWAI). This offense is committed where the driver consumed alcohol to the extent that he "has actually impaired, to any extent, the physical and mental abilities which he is expected to possess in order to operate a vehicle as a reasonable and prudent driver."
Criminal Desk Appearance Ticket DAT
Report
In some cases, when you are arrested for certain misdemeanor offenses, you may receive a Desk Appearance Ticket (DAT), a document advising you when to make a court appearance at a future date. You may also be eligible for a Desk Appearance Ticket if the highest offense is a class "E" felony, although the DAT process in any felony case is not the norm.
