Not enough information is disclosed on what misdemeanor charge, or what "procedure" is being referred to. However: if it is a misdemeanor traffic offense, not generally. But if it is a summary arrest situation (i.e.: you are taken into full custody) for a misdemeanor offense, the exact same procedures and constitutional protections will apply as it does in any other arrest situation.
