Suppose you are involved in a traffic accident:
1. If the legal sentence is less than 3 years, if both parties coordinate well, the traffic police department can take the measure of obtaining a guarantor pending trial, that is, release the person directly; In areas where the policy of "severe punishment for minor offences" is implemented, criminal responsibility may not even be investigated.
2. If the legal sentence is more than 3 years, even if the other party does not prosecute, it cannot be released directly. There is only the possibility of probation, and the traffic police have to hand it over to the procuratorate.
