Which of the following is true about misdemeanor vehicle operation?

Misdemeanor vehicle operation can indeed involve non-residents facing charges, which makes this option correct. In Indiana, as in many states, anyone who operates a vehicle within its jurisdiction is subject to that state's laws, regardless of whether they are resident or non-resident. This means that if a non-resident commits a traffic offense that falls under the classification of a misdemeanor, they can be charged accordingly.

The law does not limit the enforcement of misdemeanor charges to residents only. Traffic laws are generally applied to all individuals present in the state, ensuring fairness in enforcement and maintaining order on public roads.

The other options do not accurately reflect the broader application of misdemeanor vehicle operation laws. For instance, not all misdemeanors lead to jail time, as many can result in fines or other penalties. Additionally, while serious traffic violations can be misdemeanors, many lesser offenses also fall into this category, making the notion that only serious violations can be misdemeanors incorrect.
