Uniform Summons and Complaint forms are specifically used for which type of offenses?

The Uniform Summons and Complaint forms are specifically designed for criminal traffic offenses, which are violations of the law that, while related to traffic, also have criminal implications. Such offenses can include DUI (driving under the influence), reckless driving, and other violations that result in more serious legal consequences compared to ordinary traffic infractions. This means that they are treated similarly to criminal cases, requiring formal documentation and procedures to address them.

In contrast, options like traffic infractions, moving violations, and parking violations generally do not carry the same level of severity and are often addressed through different processes, such as citations or tickets that may not necessitate the same level of legal documentation. Thus, the classification and handling of offenses using Uniform Summons and Complaint forms are reserved for those violations that are deemed serious enough to warrant such forms.
