The time specified in the notice to appear shall be at least five days after such arrest.
1. Before a judge of the justice court, or a municipal court judge within the county in which the offense charged is alleged to have been committed, and who has jurisdiction of the offense, and who is nearest and most accessible with reference to the place where the arrest is made.
2. Upon demand of the person arrested, before a judge of the justice court, or a municipal court judge having jurisdiction of such offense at the county seat of the county in which such offense is alleged to have been committed, or before a judge of the judicial district in which the offense is alleged to have been committed.
3. Before an officer authorized by the county to receive a deposit of bail. The clerks and deputy clerks of the justice courts are persons authorized to receive bail in accordance with the schedule of bail approved by the judges of such courts. (Ord. No. 260, § 1.)
4-2 Same – Copy to be delivered to arrested person; procedure for and release of person arrested from custody.
The arresting officer shall deliver one copy of the notice to appear provided for by section 4-1 to the arrested person, and the arrested person in order to secure release shall give his written promise to appear in court by signing the duplicate notice which shall be retained by the officer. Thereupon the arresting officer shall forthwith release the person arrested from custody. (Ord. No. 260, § 1.)
4-3 Same – Duplicate to be filed with magistrate; magistrate to fix bail and indorse notice; procedure when defendant deposits bail and fails to appear.

The defendant may, prior to the date upon which he promised to appear in court, deposit with the magistrate the amount of bail thus set. Thereafter, at the time when the case is called for arraignment before the magistrate, if the defendant shall not appear, either in person or by counsel, the magistrate may declare the bail forfeited, and may in his discretion order that no further proceedings shall be had in such case.
Upon the making of such order that no further proceedings be had, all sums deposited as bail shall forthwith be paid into the county treasury for distribution pursuant to Section 1463 of the Penal Code. (Ord. No. 260, § 1.)
4-4 Same – When warrant for arrest issued.

(Ord. No. 260, § 1.)
4-5 Violation of promise to appear.
Any person wilfully violating his written promise to appear in court is guilty of a misdemeanor regardless of the disposition of the charge upon which he was originally arrested. (Ord. No. 260, § 2.)
4-6 Warrant for arrest generally.
When a person signs a written promise to appear at the time and place specified in the written promise to appear and has not posted bail as provided in Section 853.1 of the Penal Code, the magistrate shall issue and have delivered for execution a warrant for his arrest within twenty days after his failure to appear as promised, or if such person promises to appear before an officer authorized to accept bail other than a magistrate and fails to do so on or before the date which he promised to appear, then, within twenty days after the delivery of such written promise to appear by the officer to a magistrate having jurisdiction over the offense.
When such person violates his promise to appear before an officer authorized to receive bail other than a magistrate, the officer shall immediately deliver to the magistrate having jurisdiction over the offense charged the written promise to appear and the complaint, if any, filed by the arresting officer. (Ord. No. 260, § 3.)

4-10 Same – Working adult probationers.
When adult probationers are required to work at public work by an order granting probation as permitted by Section 1203.1 of the Penal Code of the state, then such adult probationers who have dependents shall receive as compensation for their services the sum of two dollars per day each, which sum shall be paid directly to the dependents of such probationers as required by order of the court granting probation. The board of supervisors shall have the right by minute order to change the rate of compensation of such adult probationers. (Ord. No. 209, § 4.)
4-11 Compensation for counsel assigned to indigent defendants.
