(1)The officer is satisfied either that there is no ground for making a criminal complaint against the person and no further proceedings are desirable; or
(2)The person was arrested for a misdemeanor and has signed an agreement to appear in court at a time designated, if the officer is satisfied that the person is a resident of the State and will appear in court at the time designated.
(b)A person released as provided in this section shall have no right to sue on the ground that the person was released without being brought before a magistrate.
