(b) Any person charged with a petty offense as defined in 18 U.S.C. Section 19 may, in lieu of appearance post collateral in the amount indicated for the offense, waive appearance before a magistrate judge, and consent to forfeiture of the collateral. The offenses for which collateral may be posted and forfeited in lieu of appearance by the person charged, together with the amounts of collateral to be posted, shall be specified in standing orders of the Court, in each Division of the Court, copies of which shall be maintained in the offices of the Clerk and the magistrate judges, respectively. For all petty offenses not specified in such standing orders, the person charged must appear before a magistrate judge; and further, nothing contained in this rule shall prohibit a law enforcement officer from arresting a person for the commission of any offense, including those for which collateral may be posted and forfeited, and requiring the person charged to appear before a magistrate judge or, upon arrest, taking him immediately before a magistrate judge.
(c) In the trial of all cases pursuant to this rule, Rule 58, Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, governs practice and procedure.
