(1) Whenever any person is arrested for any violation of this title, except those mentioned in subsection (2) hereof, the arresting officer may serve upon him a traffic citation and notice to appear in court. Such citation and notice shall conform to the requirements and be handled and disposed of in accordance with the Traffic Rules for Courts of Limited Jurisdiction, and RCW 46.64.010. The arrested person may secure release, if permitted by the arresting officer, by posting bail in an amount not less than that prescribed for the offense for which the arrest was made, by a bail schedule which shall be established by the appropriate judicial authority for all bailable offenses. Upon the arrested person’s failing or refusing to post such bail, he may be taken into custody of such arresting officer and so remain or be placed in confinement.

(2) The provisions of subsection (1) shall not apply to any person arrested and charged with an offense causing or contributing to an accident resulting in injury or death to any person or to any person charged with reckless driving, or to any person charged with driving while under the influence of intoxicating liquor or narcotic or other drugs, or to any person whom the arresting officer shall have good cause to believe has committed any felony, and the arresting officer shall take such person to the police station to be booked. (Ord. 282 § 95, 1968).
