A quick definition of civil infraction:

Term: CIVIL INFRACTION

Definition: A civil infraction is when someone breaks a rule or law, but it is not a serious enough offense to go to jail. Instead, the person may have to pay a fine or do something to make up for what they did wrong. For example, getting a ticket for speeding is a civil infraction.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A civil infraction is an act or omission that is prohibited by law and punishable, but not considered a crime. It is usually a violation of a rule or local ordinance and is not punishable by incarceration.

Examples:

  • Speeding tickets
  • Parking violations
  • Littering
  • Building code violations

The examples illustrate the definition of civil infractions because they are all actions that are prohibited by law and punishable, but not considered crimes. They are usually minor offenses that do not result in jail time, but may result in fines or other penalties.
