    The infraction/misdemeanor distinction is over in section 1200 of the code. It's at the discretion of the prosecutor.

    So I saw (and mentioned). But, since it has not yet been filed, and the officer issued it as a misdemeanor, it could go either way. While typically filed as infractions (since they are cheaper for the state and generally guarantee the payment of a fine with little cost), it can still be filed as a misdemeanor. The OP may not know until arraignment.
