Is missing a directed turn off a runway a flight violation? If so what FAR/AIM or regulation did it violate? I looked at FAR 91.123 and saw: "(b) Except in an emergency, no person may operate an aircraft contrary to an ATC instruction in an area in which air traffic control is exercised." does this apply to me and some how over ride PIC decision making on roll out? Am i under ATC control on landing roll out?

AIM 4-3-20:
Exit the runway without delay at the first available taxiway, or on a taxiway as instructed by ATC. Pilots must not exit the landing runway onto another runway unless authorized by ATC. At airports with an operating control tower, pilots should not stop or reverse course on the runway without first obtaining ATC approval.
Taxi clear of the runway unless otherwise directed by ATC. An aircraft is considered clear of the runway when all parts of the aircraft are clear of the runway...
Immediately change to ground control frequency when advised by the tower, and obtain a taxi clearance.

Is the fault with us for mishearing or with the controller for not correcting us? Does this count as a runway incursion? Does the controller maintain responsibility for maintaining separation until we taxi clear? Are we allowed to switch from tower to ground on landing roll if directed, but still on the runway ( we didn't i'm just curious)?

]If you give an incorrect readback, ATC is not responsible for correcting you, and you are responsible for adhering to the clearance you were given. You are responsible for adhering to the clearance you were given, if you've accepted the clearance, regardless of how you read it back.

No, it is not.
When it comes to pursuing you in enforcement action, 90% of what can be used against you is what comes out of your mouth. Keep it closed. Don't call, don't volunteer.
If in doubt, confer with an aviation attorney first.
If you have the AOPA legal services plan (which you should), avail yourself of a consultation, free of charge. It's in your best interest.
