It can easily turn into a big deal if the arrest means you're locked in a cell for awhile.

I guess the alternative is to not be arrested and locked in a cell? That's kind of up to someone else.

Summons the person to court and only issue an arrest warrant if they fail to appear.

This is SOP for the bulk of nonviolent crimes in the US.
