Whenever a person is arrested for a violation of any ordinance of the City and such person is not immediately taken before a magistrate as is more fully set forth in the Penal Code of the State the arresting officer shall prepare in duplicate a written notice to appear in court, containing the name and address of such person, the offense charged, and the time and place, where and when such person shall appear in court.
(Prior code § 1-022)
The time specified in the notice to appear must be at least five days after such arrest.
(Prior code § 1-022.1)
The place specified in said notice to appear shall be before a judge of the Municipal Court of the Stockton Judicial District, or before an officer authorized by the County of San Joaquin to receive a deposit of bail.
(Prior code § 1-022.2)
Said officer shall deliver one copy of the notice to appear to the arrested person and the arrested person in order to secure release must give his or her written promise so to appear in court by signing the duplicate notice which shall be retained by the officer. Thereupon the arresting officer shall forthwith release the person arrested from custody.
(Prior code § 1-022.3)
Said officer shall, as soon as practicable, file the duplicate notice with the magistrate specified therein. Thereupon the magistrate shall fix the amount of bail which in his or her judgment in accordance with provisions of Section 1275 of the Penal Code of the State will be reasonable and sufficient for the appearance of the defendant and shall endorse upon the notice a statement signed by him or her in the form set forth in Section 815(a) of the Penal Code of the State. The defendant may prior to the date upon which he or she promised to appear in Court deposit with the magistrate the amount of bail thus set. Thereafter, at the time when the case is called for arraignment before the magistrate, if the defendant shall not appear, either in person or by counsel, the magistrate may declare the bail forfeited, and may in his or her discretion order that no further proceedings shall be had in such case.
Upon the making of such order that no further proceedings be had, all sums deposited as bail shall forthwith be paid to the County Treasury for distribution pursuant to Section 1463 of the Penal Code of the State.
(Prior code § 1-022.4)
No warrant shall be issued on such charge for the arrest of a person who has given such written promise to appear in court, unless and until he or she has violated such promise, or has failed to deposit bail, to appear for arraignment, trial or judgment, or to comply with the terms and provisions of the judgment as required by law.
(Prior code § 1-023)
Any person willfully violating his or her written promise to appear in court is guilty of a misdemeanor regardless of the disposition of the charge upon which he or she was originally arrested.
(Prior code § 1-024)
When a person signs a written promise to appear at the time and place specified in the written promise to appear and has not posted bail as provided herein the magistrate shall issue and have delivered for execution a warrant for his or her arrest within 20 days after such failure to appear as promised, or if such person promises to appear before an officer authorized to accept bail other than a magistrate and fails to do so on or before the date which he or she promised to appear then within 20 days after the delivery of such written promise to appear by the officer to a magistrate having jurisdiction over the offense. When such person violates his or her promise to appear before an officer authorized to receive bail other than a magistrate the officer shall immediately deliver to the magistrate having jurisdiction over the offense charged the written promise to appear and the complaint if any filed by the arresting officer.
