For which type of offenses are appearance tickets NOT issued?

Appearance tickets are generally issued for offenses that are less serious in nature and typically allow the individual to appear in court at a later date without being arrested. Misdemeanors and traffic violations are common instances where appearance tickets are used, as they represent offenses that do not typically require the immediate detention of the individual.

Class A, B, C, and D felonies, on the other hand, are more serious offenses that often involve significant penalties, including potential incarceration. Due to the severity of these offenses, law enforcement typically does not issue appearance tickets for such felonies. Instead, individuals charged with these crimes are usually arrested and brought before a judge, highlighting the legal system's prioritization of more serious crimes and the necessity of immediate judicial oversight.

This understanding clarifies that appearance tickets are not appropriate for more severe categories of offenses, such as the classified felonies in question.
