An infraction is a minor violation of a state statute or local ordinance punishable by a fine or other penalty, or by a specified, usually very short term of incarceration. Misdemeanors and felonies are more serious crimes that can result in longer term of incarceration. Perjury is not related to the question as it refers to lying under oath in court.
