What type of crime is operating as a PI without a license considered?

  1. Class A Misdemeanor

  2. Class B Misdemeanor

  3. Class C Felony

  4. Civil Infraction

The correct answer is: Class B Misdemeanor

Operating as a private investigator without a license is considered a Class B misdemeanor. This is because operating as a PI without a license is typically a violation of state law. Class A misdemeanors are more serious offenses and typically involve a direct harm to someone, such as assault or theft. Class C felonies are even more serious and often involve violent or serious crimes. Civil infractions are not considered crimes and therefore do not apply in this situation. As such, the most appropriate answer is B, Class B Misdemeanor, as operating as a PI without a license is considered a non-violent, but still illegal, offense.
