What is the minimum penalty for a class A misdemeanor in the states of Missouri and Oregon?
<p>The maxiumum jail time is listed on such sites:
<a href="https://romanolawpc.com/misdemeanor-crimes-oregon/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://romanolawpc.com/misdemeanor-crimes-oregon/</a>
<a href="https://carvercantin.com/missouri-misdemeanor/#class-a" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://carvercantin.com/missouri-misdemeanor/#class-a</a>
but the minimum jail time/fines are not listed on those sites.</p>

<p>The case in question is one of "tampering with computer data" or "unauthorized access to computer systems" and there is no damage to the company in question.</p>

<p>Is there a minimum or can the judge choose to not sentence jail time/fines?</p>

<p><a href="http://www.crimevictimsunited.org/measure11/presentation/pdf/sentences.pdf" rel="nofollow noreferrer">These are the crimes</a> in Oregon that are subject to mandatory minimum sentencing. All Class A misdemeanors have a maximum prison sentence of <a href="https://www.oregonlaws.org/ors/161.615" rel="nofollow noreferrer">364 days</a> and <a href="https://www.oregonlaws.org/ors/161.635" rel="nofollow noreferrer">$6,250</a>, but all of the minimum-sentence crimes have minima substantially above that -- the two classes of crime do not intersect. Therefore, no fine and no jail time are mandatory.</p>

<p>Under the <a href="https://famm.org/wp-content/uploads/MO-HB-192-Enacted-Bill-Summary.pdf" rel="nofollow noreferrer">revised minimum sentencing law</a> in Missouri, the set of crimes triggering minimum sentencing has been shrunk. It does seem to interest partially with some crimes that can be Class A misdemeanors (<a href="https://law.justia.com/codes/missouri/2005/t38/5750000150.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">resisting or interfering with arrest</a>) but the list does not include "unauthorized access to computer systems". So again, there is no minimum and no jail / fine is a possibility.</p>
