The Difference Between Federal & State Crimes
Most crimes in Tennessee violate state law, which state lawmakers have enacted to address state-related concerns. On the other hand, federal crimes involve matters of federal or national interest, such as drug trafficking, weapons and explosives charges, mail and wire fraud, tax evasion, terrorism, and immigration crimes.
The federal court handles the following types of criminal cases:
-
Crimes committed on federal land – Common examples include robbery of a federal bank, destruction of property in a national forest, and homicide on a military base.
-
Crimes committed throughout multiple states – For instance, identity theft involving many victims in different states.
-
Crimes when an offender crosses state lines – For example, transporting drugs from one state to another.
-
Violations of immigration and customs law – Common examples include international sex trafficking or distributing child pornography.
Federal crimes are punishable by longer sentences compared to state crimes and can include time spent in federal prison. Some charges, such as drug crimes, are associated with mandatory minimum sentences.
Our Clarksville federal crime lawyers can thoroughly assess your case, figure out all your available legal options, and help you obtain the most favorable result in federal court. We understand the complexities of the criminal justice system and we will take aggressive legal action in your favor.
