  • 1. An appearance ticket is a written notice issued and subscribed by a
      police  officer or other public servant authorized by state law or local

      section  is issued to a person in conjunction with an offense charged in
      a simplified information,  said  appearance  ticket  shall  contain  the
      language, set forth in subdivision four of section 100.25, notifying the
      defendant of his right to receive a supporting deposition.
