[edit] Correction of CC sections

I have Martin's 2008 in front of me. The section setting out max sentences for summary offences is s.787, not s.785. I have corrected this. I also adjusted the sentence that followed, since the section was identified correctly (s.786) but it no longer "follows" the section mentioned immediately prior to it.205.194.127.36 (talk) 16:51, 8 April 2008 (UTC)Amicus

[edit] "Summary Offense" in United States?

I haven't heard of any states that classify crimes as "summary offenses." If this can be verified, it would be noteworthy to mention it in this article. --Ted 00:49, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] United States

Shouldn't the top section of this page be referred to as United States, as Canada is in the bottom section? After all wikipedia is a multi-national site.
