of this section, the more general reference to
violations of "State or local law" is
substituted for the present, erroneously
limited reference to violations of the
Maryland Vehicle Law or "any traffic law or
regulation of any local authority". As seen
in §26—205(a) of this title, the law provides
for the issuance of traffic citations for
certain nontraffic offenses established under
other articles of the Code.
In subsection (c) of this section, the present
reference to the "deposit of sufficient bail"
as a method for disposing of a citation is
deleted. The provision was incorporated
inadvertently into present §16-118 from the
corresponding Uniform Vehicle Code provision,
even though its application is inappropriate
in this State. As indicated by Art. 27, §12B
of the Code, deposit of bail generally is not
of itself adequate to dispose of a case.
In subsection (c)(1) of this section, the
phrase "dismissal of the charges" is added to
state explicitly another alternative obviously
allowed in all court cases.
In subsection (f)(3) of this section, the last
sentence of present §16—117(b), which refers
to "{c}ontrols and regulations pertaining to
District Court judges and commissioners" to be
established under Art. 26, §150, is deleted as
obsolete. The referenced section was repealed
by Ch. 2, Acts of 1973, 1st Sp. Sess. (See
§1-605 of the Courts Article for the
provisions, derived from the referenced
section, regarding record—keeping by and
reporting procedures of the District Court.)
26-408. CANCELLATION OR SOLICITATION OF CANCELLATION OF
TRAFFIC CITATION.
A PERSON MAY NOT CANCEL OR SOLICIT ANOTHER TO CANCEL
A TRAFFIC CITATION IN ANY MANNER OTHER THAN AS PROVIDED
IN THIS SUBTITLE.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This section presently appears as
Art. 66 1/2, §16-119.
The present express reference to a violation
of this section as a "misdemeanor" is deleted
as unnecessary in light of §27—101 of this
article to the same effect.
The only other changes are in style.
26-409. WHEN COPY OF CITATION IS A SUFFICIENT CHARGING
DOCUMENT; CASE TO BE TRIED ONLY ON PROPER CHARGING
