For you, it will be misdemeanor for you, unfortunately, maximum 1 year in jail and or $6,000 max fine. Your judge could decide if you get caught.
For me, if I get caught all I get is wrist slap! Along with $100.00 citation, and no criminal record.
Eventually, your state will give up after realizing it is costing them too much.
Depending on police officers, some are asshole - they can charge with felony if they could find evidence that warrant the felony charge as possible, also repeat offense can be felony too.
The criminal justice system in Alabama is horrible and jurors don't care about overcharge - police officers win. We have extremely overcrowded state prisons.
Not know about my state will give up, but they are too stubborn and don't care, unless their state prisons get massive break-in with numerous escapees or turn into bloody.
