(2)
Deposit.
(a)
Any person arrested for a violation of this chapter
may make a deposit of money as directed by the arresting officer at
the Police Department or the office of the Clerk of Court or by mailing
the deposit to such places. The arresting officer or the person receiving
the deposit shall notify the arrested person, orally or in writing,
that:
1.
If the person makes a deposit for a violation of a
traffic regulation, the person need not appear in court at the time
fixed in the citation and the person will be deemed to have tendered
a plea of no contest and submitted to a forfeiture and penalty assessment
if required by § 757.05, Wis. Stats., a jail assessment
if required by § 302.46(1), Wis. Stats., plus any applicable
fees prescribed in Ch. 814, Wis. Stats., not to exceed the amount
of the deposit that the court may accept as provided in § 345.37,
Wis. Stats.
2.
If the person fails to make a deposit for a violation
of a traffic regulation or appear in court at the time fixed in the
citation, the court may enter a default judgment finding the person
guilty of the offense or issue a warrant for his arrest.
(b)
The amount of the deposit shall be determined in accordance
with the State of Wisconsin Revised Uniform State Traffic Deposit
Schedule established by the Wisconsin Judicial Conference and shall
include the penalty assessment established under § 757.05,
Wis. Stats., a jail assessment if required by § 302.46(1),
Wis. Stats., and court costs. If a deposit schedule has not been established,
the arresting officer shall require the alleged offender to deposit
the forfeiture established by the Chief of Police, which shall include
the penalty assessment established under § 757.05, Wis.
Stats. Deposits for moving violations shall not include the penalty
assessment.
(c)
The arresting officer or the person receiving the
deposit shall issue the arrested person a receipt therefor as required
by § 345.26(3)(b), Wis. Stats.
(d)
If a deposit schedule has not been established, the
arresting officer shall require the alleged offender to deposit not
less than the maximum forfeiture permitted under this chapter.
(3)
Petition to reopen judgment. Whenever a person has
been convicted in this state on the basis of a forfeiture of deposit
or a plea of guilty or no contest and the person was not informed
as required under § 345.27(1) and (2), Wis. Stats., the
person may, within 60 days after being notified of the revocation
or suspension of the operating privilege, petition the court to reopen
the judgment and grant him an opportunity to defend on merits. If
the court finds that the petitioner was not informed as required under § 345.27(1)
and (2), Wis. Stats., the court shall order the judgment reopened.
The court order reopening the judgment automatically reinstates the
revoked or suspended operating privilege.
