If you refused to sign a traffic ticket then you could be dentained and could be facing a night or two days in jail. By signing it it doesnt means that you broke the law. It only means that you are going to show up for court. In a few states some officers sign RTS (refused to sign). I hope this answered you question.

In the State on Minnesota can a policeman issue a traffic citation without your signature?
Yes. A signature is only your verification that you have received the ticket. Actually, a refusal to sign can and normally DOES result in immediate arrest and transport before a judge. If people could not pay a ticket simply by not signing them, no one would EVER get one!

Does a traffic ticket become expired I got a traffic ticket but I'm going to leave the US to work in Europe for many years. If I won't pay will my ticket expire I'm residing in CA.?
No, tickets don't expire. If you get a ticket, you get a ticket. In CA, your ticket requires that you appear in court either fight it or pay it and receive your sentencing and traffic school if available. But if you evade your ticket and dodge court, a warrant can and probably will be issued for your arrest. My advice, just pay it.
What happens if you're extremely late in paying a traffic ticket in California?
A warrant is issued for your arrest. If stopped your car will be impounded and you will be taken into custody.
