Federal Property Crimes in South Florida
In addition to being considered federal offenses, federal property crimes can be charged as felonies. Because two sets of laws are broken during the commission of this type of crime (state laws for the crime itself and federal laws because it was committed on federal property) violators are subject to being penalized on both state and federal levels. This situation doesn’t constitute as double jeopardy because the crimes are seen as being two separate offenses, which means that you could face double penalties for committing a federal property crime. If convicted, you could face years in federal or state prison, heavy fines, and more, so it is vitally important that you consult an attorney as you can.
