§ 1115.2. Posting bail after release on personal recognizance for traffic violation--Failure to appear--Person ineligible for release on personal recognizance--Juveniles
A. If a person arrested for a traffic violation is released upon personal recognizance as provided for in Section 1115.1 of this title, but subsequently posts bail and thereafter fails to timely appear as provided for by law, the court may issue a warrant for the person's arrest and the case shall be processed as follows:
B. If the defendant is not eligible for release upon personal recognizance as provided for in Section 1115.1 of this title, or if eligible but refuses to sign a written promise to appear, the officer shall deliver the person to an appropriate magistrate for arraignment and the magistrate shall proceed as otherwise provided for by law. If no magistrate is available, the defendant shall be placed in the custody of the appropriate municipal or county jailor or custodian, to be held until a magistrate is available or bail is posted as provided for in Section 1115.3 of this title or as otherwise provided for by law or ordinance.
In such cases, the arresting officer may designate the date and time on the citation by which, or on which, the person shall appear or contact the court, as applicable to the court, and release the person. If the person fails to appear without good cause shown, the court may issue a warrant for the person's arrest.
