Information on Federal Crimes in Provo

In the United States, a federal crime is any act that has been deemed illegal by federal legislation. There are two instances in which a federal crimes case could be filed against one:

• There is a violation of federal law, as opposed to state law
• There is a crime committed on federal property

Examples of federal crimes include controlled substance violations, counterfeiting, gun law violations, postal offenses, bank larceny or robbery, financial fraud, child pornography, and money laundering, among many others. Illegal acts which violate both federal and state laws may be subject to prosecution in both federal and state courts without danger of invoking the double jeopardy law.
