California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Hankla v. Municipal Court, 102 Cal.Rptr. 896, 26 Cal.App.3d 342 (Cal. App. 1972):
In this case there were definitely two criminal acts involved. Whether considered under a 'necessarily included offense' test, or an intent 'and objective' test or a 'criminal acts' test, the offense of driving a vehicle while under the influence of intoxicating liquor, and the offense of contributing to the delinquency of a minor could be separately punished. (See People v. Hartfield (1970) 11 Cal.App.3d 1073, 1078--1080, 90 Cal.Rptr. 274.) It may be assumed that in order to avoid harassment the petitioner was entitled to move to have the charges consolidated for trial. (Id., at p. 1080, 90 Cal.Rptr. 274.)
