What is the difference between gross misdemeanor and misdemeanor in washington state?

Question

And would I need a lawyer when i go to court for a gross misdemeanor rcw 46.352.010 duty on striking other properety

Answer 1

It sound like duckly on it,

Answer 2

1. the crime is Striking property, R.C.W. 46.52 .010 not 46.352.010 as cited by you.

Striking property is when you hit a parked or unoccupied car.

The crime is a misdemeanor, not a gross misdemeanor.

This means it is punishable by fine, not Jail or prison time.

Gross misdemeanor is more severe in content, and carries a Jail and fine or both.  

Answer 3

gross midemeaner is when you do something gross. lol I don't know.

  (2) Misdemeanors and Gross Misdemeanors. (a) Any crime punishable by a fine of not more than one thousand dollars, or by imprisonment in a county jail for not more than ninety days, or by both such fine and imprisonment is a misdemeanor. Whenever the performance of any act is prohibited by any statute, and no penalty for the violation of such statute is imposed, the committing of such act shall be a misdemeanor.

(b) All crimes other than felonies and misdemeanors are gross misdemeanors
