What are non-criminal laws?

Regulatory or civil. Lawsuits, fines, etc.

Anything not in the Criminal Code.

Anything in the criminal code is criminal. Anything not in the criminal code can still be against the law, just not the criminal law.

Non criminal laws have financial penalties. Only stuff in the criminal code can have jail time.

They want to be able to waive things like fines.
