When someone violates a law and is caught, a punishment or legal action is imposed. This can range from a traffic ticket, a criminal citation (summons), or an arrest.

If you're later found guilty of the violation, you could be placed on probation, sentence to community service, fined, jailed, imprisoned, and even executed.

Generally what happens to someone after being caught violating the law depends on the severity of the violation. Here's a small reference list:

  • Minor Moving/Parking Violations - Warning or Tickets
  • Major Moving Violations - Tickets or Arrest
  • Minor Criminal Violation - Warning, Citation (Summons to appear), or Arrest
  • Major Criminal Violation - Arrest
