Les principales catégories d'infractions criminelles au Canada sont les infractions punissables par procédure sommaire et les actes criminels (aussi appelés «infractions punissables par mise en accusation»). Les infractions punissables par procédure sommaire sont moins graves que les actes criminels. [...] Une personne accusée d'une telle infraction n'est habituellement pas mise [en état d']arrestation, à moins qu'elle ait été trouvée en train de commettre l'infraction. Souvent, on lui remet un avis de comparaître en cour à une certaine date et à une certaine heure.
