Re: Charge with misdemeanor

Fingerprints are required for any crime higher than 92-day misdemeanors. That is why many misdemeanors have "93 days jail" as a max ... so they have to be printed.

So, all felonies, all 1-yr misdemeanors, all 93-day misdemeanors have to be printed. 90-day misdemeanors don't.
