[edit] not right
Notwithstanding the vfd and transwiki listed below, this article is wrong, or rather jurisdictionally biased. It appears that in the main authror's jurisdiction, infraction is a specfic type of crime, but that is not true elsewhere. Furthermore, infraction in the US is used extensively by many jursidictions in a very different sense than this article shows. Changes are coming, so page watchers, watch out.

- Huh? What is the other sense that it's used in? Are the "many jurisdictions" you refer to outside of the US and the Commonwealth? Thesmothete 15:40, 26 August 2006 (UTC) -- also see this talk page for some further discussion Thesmothete 15:51, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

- That discussion covers all of my concerns...I don't know that I have much to add. Where I practice "infraction" is simply synonymous with "violation," and has no connection to jail time or municiple codes or administrative regulations. Manney 21:56, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

This 'infraction' definition is overwriting the definition of 'Infringement', while the link to 'infraction' is treated as blank. While it plays nicely into the idea of an anti-gun conspiracy screwing with the definition of 'infringement', I'd appreciate it someone would fix this thing. - Mike Lorrey

[edit] School Infractions
School infractions are a different sort of infraction from the sort of legal infraction the rest of the article is about. I don't think that school infractions ought to be discussed in this article. Do others agree or disagree? Thesmothete 12:50, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
