Declining a penalty is when the team not receiving the penalty turns down the penalty on the other team. Penalties usually result in a loss or gain of yards and a replay of the down.ExampleIf the offense runs a play on third down and ends up four yards short of a first down but commits an offensive penalty the defense would most likely want to decline that penalty so that the third down play stands. If they were to accept the penalty the offense would get another shot and making the third down yardage even though it would be 9 yards to go (5 yard penalty) or 14 yards to go (10 yard penalty). Even though the penalty would back up the offense why give them another shot at completing third down yardage. Declining the penalty makes it fourth down with four yards to go and they most likely punt.

That is where a quarterback is calling signals at the line of scrimmage and purposely calls one signal louder or with a different tone in the hopes of drawing a defensive player offside. Quarterbacks will use hard counts in short yardage situations where a five yard offsides penalty will give his team a first down.
Depends on the offense and state you reside. If it's a misdemeanor for example, you may be booked, released OR with a court date or simply fined. Specify offense and state for possible penalty.
A first down is gained when the offense gains ten or more yards.
