or mailed to the Clerk of Courts prior to the time of the scheduled
court appearance.
(2) If such a deposit is made, the alleged violator need not appear in
court unless he is subsequently summoned.

or, if the court does not accept the plea of no contest, a summons
shall be issued demanding him to appear in court to answer the complaint.

in court at the time specified, an action may be commenced to collect
the forfeiture, plus costs, fees and surcharges imposed under Ch.
814, Wis. Stats.
