California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Santos, G053038 (Cal. App. 2017):
"In general, a person may be convicted of, although not punished for, more than one crime arising out of the same act or course of conduct. 'In California, a single act or course of conduct by a defendant can lead to convictions "of any number of the offenses charged."'" (People v. Reed (2006) 38 Cal.4th 1224, 1226-1227 (Reed).)
