The arresting officer shall deliver one copy of the notice to appear to the arrested persons, and, such person, in order to secure release after such arrest, must give his written promise so to appear in court by signing the duplicate notice, which shall be retained by the officer. Thereupon the arresting officer shall immediately release the person arrested from custody.
(Added by Ord. 502-60, App. 10/14/60)
As soon as practicable thereafter the arresting officer shall file the duplicate notice with the judge specified therein. Thereupon, the judge shall fix the amount of bail which in his judgment, in accordance with the provisions of Section 1275 of the Penal Code of the State of California, will be reasonable and sufficient for the appearance of the defendant, and the judge shall indorse upon the notice a statement signed by him in the form set forth in Section 815a of said Code; provided, however, that where judges of the Municipal Court have adopted a schedule of bail, the bail shall be in the amount as set forth in the said bail schedule which is then in effect.

The defendant may, prior to the date upon which he promised to appear in court, deposit with the judge the amount of bail set as provided in Section 990 above. Thereafter, at the time the case is called for arraignment, if the defendant shall not appear, either in person or by counsel, the judge may declare the bail forfeited, and may in his 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 be paid into the treasury of the City and County of San Francisco.
(Added by Ord. 502-60, App. 10/14/60)
No warrant shall issue on such charge for the arrest of a person who has given such written promise to appear in court, unless and until he has violated such promise or has failed to deposit bail, to appear for arraignment, trail or judgment, or to comply with the terms and provisions of the judgment, as required by law.
