A. When a person is stopped or contacted by a borough peace officer for the commission of a motor vehicle or traffic offense that is a violation of this title, the officer shall, except when otherwise required by law or the immediate circumstances, issue a citation to the person in charge of, or operating, the motor vehicle involved. A citation issued pursuant to this subsection must meet the requirements of AS 12.25.200 and the Alaska Rules of Minor Offense Procedures. The borough shall use the Alaska Uniform Citation form, or the electronic version, if authorized.

B. A citation for a violation of a state motor vehicle law that has been incorporated by reference in this title shall reference the Alaska Statute or Alaska Administrative Code section that has been violated and indicate that the law or regulation has been incorporated in the borough code by reference. All such citations shall list the Haines Borough as the prosecuting entity and shall be submitted to and processed by the Alaska court system. Fines paid to the court for that violation shall be remitted to the borough.

C. A citation for a violation of a provision of this title that does not adopt by reference a provision of the state motor vehicle laws shall reference only the appropriate borough code section. Fines paid to the court for that violation shall be remitted to the borough.

D. If the offender refuses to accept the citation the citing peace officer shall arrest the offender in the manner otherwise provided by law. (Ord. 15-06-413 § 30)
