DISPOSITION OF FINES IN TRAFFIC CASES; FAILURE OR NEGLECT TO COMPLY WITH SECTION
(§ 46.2-1308)

In counties, cities, and towns whose governing bodies adopt the ordinances
authorized by §§ 46.2-1300 and 46.2-1304, all fines imposed for violations of
such ordinances shall be paid into the county, city or town treasury. Fees shall
be disposed of according to law.
		In all cases, however, in which the arrest is made or the summons is issued by
an officer of the Department of State Police or of any other division of the
state government, for violation of the motor vehicle laws of the Commonwealth,
the person arrested or summoned shall be charged with and tried for a violation
of some provision of this title and all fines and forfeitures collected upon
convictions of any person so arrested or summoned shall be credited to the
Literary Fund.
		Willful failure, refusal or neglect to comply with this provision shall
constitute a Class 4 misdemeanor and may be grounds for removal of the guilty
person from office. Charges for dereliction of the duties here imposed shall be
tried by the circuit court of the jurisdiction served by the officer charged
with the violation.
