What are offenses that do not require the defendant's criminal intent?

Why do police effect most arrests without a warrant?
Because most offenses occur within their presence or under conditions under which there is 'fresh pursuit. Also, due to the fact that the identify of the actual offender and their physical appearance, and addresses of the wanted offenders is known. Warrants are necessary for offenses in which the identity of the offender is not immediately known or clear, and require investigation and the development of probable cause to make an arrest, or for misdemeanors which do not occur in the officers presence. Traffic offenses are, of course, self-explanatory.
Is it possible to foul another player without touching him?
A "foul" commonly refers to the ten offenses for which a direct free kick or a penalty kick is awarded (called "penal fouls"), but technically includes the eight indirect free kick offenses as well. The latter group (IFK offenses) generally do not require there to be contact between players. Some of the penal fouls occur upon the making of inappropriate contact with an opponent, while others only require that the illegal contact be attempted. The first penal foul listed in the Laws of the Game is "kicks or attempts to kick an opponent"; contact is not necessary if the referee believes that the offender attempted to kick the opponent, but missed (in this case, the referee should consider that misconduct may also have to be sanctioned).

Can a police officer mark a mandatory court appearance on a citaton if a driver disputes the offense?
If the driver wants to dispute the offense, the only option is to appear for court, plead not guilty, and proceed with trial. In traffic, certain offenses do not require a court appearance, and the defendant can simply mail in a fine to avoid a court date. The police officer does not determine which offenses permit the defendant to pay a fine instead of appearing.
