Sec. 1. (a) When a criminal action is pending against a defendant and the defendant is in the custody of any law enforcement officer, the court may order the law enforcement officer to produce the defendant before the court for prosecution. If the defendant is at liberty within the state as a result of an order releasing him on his own recognizance or on bail, the court may cause the defendant or his attorney to be notified to appear at a designated time. Upon failure to appear after such notification, the court may issue a warrant for the defendant's immediate arrest.
(b) The method selected to secure the attendance of the defendant shall not be a ground for objection at any stage of the criminal proceeding if the method is allowed by this article.
