According to the Michigan Vehicle Code, anyone who operates a vehicle on a highway, frozen public lake, parking lot or other place open to the general public with deliberate disregard for the safety of other persons or property is guilty of a misdemeanor crime. If this infraction results in the injury or death of another person, you could face felony charges and increased criminal penalties. This is an extremely vague description of a crime, and there are many wrongful convictions and unnecessarily harsh charges because of the nondescript language used.
