What is the case law on arraignment in municipal courts?

"New York", United States of America

The following excerpt is from People v. Vasquez, 348 N.Y.S.2d 1007, 76 Misc.2d 5 (N.Y. City Ct. 1973):

'This public benefit so far outweighs any hypothetical minor inconvenience or prejudice to a defendant, that even were defendant prejudiced in any way . . . continuance of the present arraignment procedure would still be justified. When the public need is balanced against the inconvenience to a private citizen, and the public need is deemed paramount, it takes precedence, and the perquisites of a private citizen must yield (citing Camara v. Municipal Court, 387 U.S. 523 (87 S.Ct. 1727, 18 L.Ed.2d 930) (1967).'
