The Arrest Process for a Reckless Driving Case You can be pulled over by the officer and released on a summons. A release on a summons means that you sign a promise to appear in court; that is what your ticket is for reckless driving.
In a criminal court context, the note "Released on Summons" generally means that the person was not formally arrested and booked into jail but instead received a summons to appear in court at a later date.
