YES!
This is a good question to use as an answer for all those illegal immigration questions.

No. There are levels of crime.
If you make an illegal u-turn you are not a criminal - just an idiot, who endangers others. Misdemeanors are illegal but then everyone would become a criminal in the eyes of the law even if they did not know about a local law.

NO. Under the legal standard, you are considered innocent until proven guilty beyond reasonable doubt. Being a criminal is a declaration from the tribunal who heard the alleged commission of the offense.

A criminal is a person that commits a crime. If you do something illegal, you are by definition a criminal.

If you're an average schmuck who works for a living, yes!
If you're a politician, well, you only have to read the paper to see what those dirtbags get away with!

That would seem to sum it up very neatly.
And if I were you, and in doubt about this issue, I would probably avoid Maricopa County....the sheriff would give you an answer you REALLY wouldn't like.
