Criminal conversion, in criminal law, is usually defined as the crime of exerting unauthorised use or control of someone else's property. It differs from theft in that it does not include the element of intending to deprive the owner of the use of that property. As such, it is a lesser included offense of the crime of theft. An example might be tapping someone's power line, cable or gas.
The state does not have to prove your guilt "beyond a reasonable doubt," as it does in criminal cases, and you cannot be imprisoned for an infraction violation.
Criminal trials are either bench trials, in which the judge decides the outcome, or jury trials.
Because an infraction is not a criminal offense the penalty imposed is a civil judgment.
