What is your definition of "non-serious?" The answer to the question is yes. A traffic violation is a misdemeanor offense for which the officer, in their judgement, can make a summary arrest - IF it occurred in his presence..... and most moving traffic violations DO occur in the officers presence.
The officer can ticket you for the traffic violation, he or she can arrest you if there are mitigating circumstances.
No, that could be construed as bribery. The only money that can change hands with the police officer at the time of arrest is bond.
When they write you a ticket, but you are not arrested. Examples of this are most traffic violations, i.e. a speeding ticket. More serious crimes will be an arrest, not a citation.
If the warrant is for a misdemeanor offense, you will not normally be arrested unless you are stopped for a traffic violation or if the police are called to a scene, where you may be. If it's a felony warrant, for a serious violation, such as murder, you will be tracked down, even in another state, and be arrested and extradited.
The traffic violation with code 1050020 66 is exclusive information that can only be provided by the California police. A police officer is responsible for this information.
Due to a violation in his parole he was brought back to prison. He thought that what they were doing was a violation of his rights. The police stopped the car as the driver had committed a traffic violation.
Usually the court provides a bail or fine schedule to the police department.
Anything that is illegal, which can be no license plate lights (Equipment Violation) to speeding (Driving Violation) and everything in between.
Because driving above the speed limit is a traffic violation
No. And why would they confiscate your license anyways?
Unless the ticketing incident involved a trafic accident - a DUI/DWI arrest - or some other criminal violation, the routine issuance of traffic tickets does not generate any police reports. Each individual ticket/summons is a court document unto itself which stands on its own as the prima facie evidence of the offense.
Question is somewhat unclear but usually not, unless they have a warrant for your arrest, or you were placed under arrest for some other violation of law.
