You have the right to appear in person in court before a judicial officer for arraignment, to be informed of the charges against you,
to be advised of your rights, and to enter a plea without deposit of bail.
You have the right to request at arraignment that a court trial be scheduled for a date after your arraignment.
You have the right to a speedy trial within 45 days of submitting your request for a trial.
You have the right to be physically present in court for trial and sentencing and all other stages of the proceedings, including, but
not limited to, presentation of testimony and evidence and arguments on questions of law.

2. Waiver of Rights and Request for Remote Video Arraignment and Trial with Deposit of Bail:
a. I, (print name): ______________________________, am the defendant in this traffic infraction case and understand that my rights
include those listed above and also the right to hire an attorney and subpoena witnesses. I understand that a remote video
proceeding (RVP) uses two-way electronic audiovisual communication between the court and me at the remote location instead of
having me physically appear in the courtroom. By requesting RVP, I agree to appear at the designated off-site location and agree
that the court may order me to appear in my case by RVP for any related proceedings. By requesting that the court allow me to
proceed without being physically present in the courtroom and to appear for all proceedings by RVP, I voluntarily elect to waive
(give up) the following rights: INITIALS
My right to appear in person in court on separate days for arraignment without deposit of bail and for trial
without deposit of bail unless ordered by the court;
My right to a speedy trial within 45 days; and
My right to be physically present in the court for trial and sentencing and all other stages of the proceedings,
including, but not limited to, presentation of testimony and evidence and arguments on questions of law, and
confrontation and cross-examination of witnesses in court.
I have read the Instructions to Defendant for Remote Video Proceeding (form TR-500-INFO) and request to appear by RVP in this
case. I understand that the court may permit the officer that issued the ticket and any other witnesses to appear in court to testify
and be cross-examined while I appear at the remote location and may deny my request at any time and order me to be present in
the courtroom for any proceedings conducted in this case.
b. I enclose bail of $__________.
c. I need an interpreter: Yes No (language): __________________________
d. I have an attorney to represent me: Yes No (name of attorney): _____________________________________
e. I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that the information I have provided on this form and all
attachments is true and correct. I promise to appear for all proceedings ordered by the court in this case. I understand that if I do
not appear as promised, the court may forfeit any bail that I posted; hold the trial in my absence; impose a civil assessment of up
to $300 under Penal Code 1214.1, or issue a warrant for my arrest; and report the failure to appear to the Department of Motor
Vehicles for a hold on my license.
