For offenses other than driving while intoxicated or reckless driving, police officers, after making note of the license number of the vehicle (and name of the offender where possible), may issue a traffic violation ticket notifying the offender to appear in court at the time designated for hearing such cases. If the offender desires to plead guilty at or prior to the initial court appearance, the prescribed penalty for all city offenses in this title, except parking violations listed in sections 6-2-3-1 through 6-2-3-11 of this chapter, shall be seventy five dollars ($75.00), including costs, for each such offense and is payable at the office of the circuit clerk of Christian County. Such officer may sign a complaint for the issuance of a warrant if the offender does not appear at the time and place so specified. (Ord. 2734, 12-18-1995)
