The person would be required to swear out a criminal complaint, and after that the judge will decide whether to issue an arrest warrant or merely a summons to appear in court.

Not at first, you will just get a bench warrant, a variation of an arrest warrant. That means that if you're pulled over or arrested again you are immediately taken into custody without bail until you're able to appear in court again. Something as minor as a traffic violation means they won't come looking for you if that's what you're wondering.
