In Nevada, crimes are classified into three major categories: misdemeanors, gross misdemeanors, and felonies.  While any criminal charge is very serious and must be dealt with in a professional aggressive manner, misdemeanor crimes carry the least severe penalties.  Generally, misdemeanor crimes are punishable by up to six months in jail, a fine up to $1,000.00, and/or community service.  Gross misdemeanors are more serious offenses, generally punishable by up to one year in jail, and/or a fine up to $2,000.00.  Felonies are the most serious offenses.  Depending on the severity of the crime, generally felonies are punishable by at least one year in state prison and possibly a substantial fine.  Furthermore, there are numerous felony crimes that could lead to a substantial prison sentence as long as life in prison.  Further, first degree murder is punishable by life imprisonment or death.

If you are ever stopped by the police for any reason, you need to remain calm.  You should never resist or run away, since both constitute a crime.  Also, if you resist or run away, the police may physically restrain you and, under certain circumstances, may even utilize deadly force against you.

Generally, if you are arrested, the police must advise you of your Miranda rights.  While you may choose to answer questions, give a statement, or take tests prior to or after arrest, generally, you should NEVER provide any written or oral statements or take any tests without first consulting your attorney.  Any information you voluntarily give to the police may be used as evidence against you in Court.  Once you begin to answer questions or give a statement, you have the right to stop at any time or to wait for your lawyer before continuing.  Law enforcement officers can never use force or threaten you into answering questions and, more importantly, cannot offer leniency in exchange for any written or oral statements.

Remember, you have a constitutional right not to answer questions or provide a statement to the police.  The fact that you invoked your right not to answer questions cannot be used against you at trial.  In fact, at trial, you are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
