does a civil crime go on your criminal record?

Question

and is it true that if you took the blame of taking money from a company you have to pay them three times the amount in the state of florida?

Answer 1

Actually if you are a tortfeasor (someone who committed a tort (basically a broke a civil law, not a criminal law)), it will show on your record. It isn't separated like that.

In Florida:

Embezzlement under $300 will cost you about a $500 fine and/or 60 days in jail. Embezzlement over $300 is a felony and will cost you up to $5000 fine and/or up to 5 years in prison.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

There is no such thing as a Civil Crime. You REALLY need to understand your situation better.

CIVIL matters are things that courts deal with that are NOT crimes. Divorce is not a crime, Child custody is not a crime, Wills and Trusts are not crimes, Lawsuits where one person owes the other money or compensation are not crimes. These are Civil matters.

It is impossible for there to be a "Civil Crime", because civil matters are things that courts do that are not crimes, see?

Taking money is THEFT. That is a crime. It is a criminal matter.

If charges were filed it would go on your criminal record, and there would be a trial in criminal court.

I suppose it could be possible that the vicitim might choose to not file charges and simply sue the thief in civil court. I have never heard of this, but I guess it could be done.

If you are in legal trouble and you don't understand the law, you NEED to go talk to an ATTORNEY. If you are in Florida contact the Florida Bar Association.
