Federal crimes are prosecuted differently than those prosecuted within the state court system. Federal crimes are prosecuted within the United States District Court.

The punishment for violating Federal law is usually much more severe. For example, on minor misdemeanor offenses in the Federal system, you face confinement in a Federal prison, rather than a local jail. In addition, there are no “infractions” in Federal court, even a speeding ticket is considered a misdemeanor.
