A quick definition of infraction:

Infraction: An infraction is a small mistake or rule-breaking that is not very serious. It can be things like parking for too long, driving too fast, or following another car too closely. Even though it is against the law, the punishment for an infraction is not very big. In California, the most you can be fined for an infraction is $250 and you cannot go to jail for it. Sometimes, there are things called "wobbler infractions" that are a little more serious than regular infractions, but still not as bad as a real crime.

A more thorough explanation:

Infraction is a legal term that refers to minor violations or breaches of laws, contracts, or obligations. It is considered a minor offense in the criminal justice system and the resulting penalty is also minor.

Examples of infractions include:

  • Parking overtime
  • Speeding
  • Tailgating

These actions are considered minor because they do not cause significant harm or danger to others. The highest form of punishment for an infraction is usually a fine, and incarceration is not an option.

However, in some cases, an infraction may be considered more serious and is known as a "wobbler infraction." Examples of wobbler infractions include disturbing the peace and exhibition of speeding. These types of infractions may be punished with a higher fine or even a short period of incarceration.

Overall, an infraction is a minor offense that is less serious than a misdemeanor or felony. It is important to follow laws and regulations to avoid committing an infraction and facing penalties.

The examples illustrate the definition because they are minor violations that do not cause significant harm or danger to others. They are considered less serious than other types of offenses and are punished with minor penalties such as fines.
