(a) Hereafter persons arrested and taken to the Headquarters of the United States Park Police or to the Metropolitan Police precinct stations for violation of certain regulations promulgated for the protection of the Park System of the District of Columbia, as set forth on the Schedule of Minimum Collateral attached hereto, will be handled as follows: (1) The decision as to whether an individual arrested shall be permitted to deposit collateral will rest with the official then in charge of the Force, who shall be guided in his decision by consideration of existing rules and laws governing incarceration of prisoners, and the customs of the community. Determination as to whether collateral shall be required in an amount greater than the minimum provided in the Schedule of Minimum Collateral, will rest with the decision of the official then in charge of the Force. (2) Experience since 1938 has clearly demonstrated that permitting the forfeiture of collateral for minor offenses has eliminated the necessity for the police force to appear in court, if the person arrested elects to forfeit. As in the past, forfeiture of collateral for violation of National Capital Parks Regulations will be handled in a manner similar to forfeiture of collateral for violation of certain Metropolitan Police regulations.
