“[I]t is interesting to note the modern policy against custodial arrests and favoring the issuance of citations and summonses. State legislatures, including Colorado, have given effect to this policy by requiring the issuance of a penalty assessment notice or summons in ordinary traffic violations. Section 42-4-1501 et. seq., C.R.S.1973; see Cal. Vehicle Code, § 40300 et seq. 3”
