§ 27.07 Pleas by mail. A defendant charged with a violation of any
provision of this chapter or rule, regulation, local law or ordinance
promulgated or adopted thereunder may himself plead guilty to the charge
in open court. He may also submit to the magistrate having jurisdiction,
in person, by duly authorized agent, or by registered mail, a statement
(a) that he waives arraignment in open court and the aid of counsel, (b)
that he pleads guilty to the offense as charged, (c) that he elects and
requests that the charge be disposed of and the fine or penalty fixed by
the court, (d) of any explanation that he desires to make concerning the
offense charged, and (e) that he makes all statements under penalty of
perjury. Thereupon the magistrate may proceed as though the defendant
has been convicted upon a plea of guilty in open court, provided
however, that any imposition of fine or penalty hereunder shall be
deemed tentative until such fine or penalty shall have been paid and
discharged in full. If upon receipt of the aforesaid statement the
magistrate shall deny the same, he shall thereupon notify the defendant
of this fact, and that he is required to appear before the said
magistrate at a stated time and place to answer the charge which shall
thereafter be disposed of pursuant to the applicable provisions of law.
