Notwithstanding any other provision of this code, when a person under the age of 18 years is charged with a violation of this code, and a peace officer issues a notice to appear in superior court to that minor, the charge shall be deemed an infraction unless the minor requests that a petition be filed under Cal. Welf. & Inst. Code §§ 601 or 602. The amount of the fine imposed shall be set by the court.
