If a police officer doesn't have a person to sign their ticket, the ticket is still valid in any state. It is only a myth that the ticket will be thrown out of court.

Traffic infractions are misdemeanors. To take lawful action, a misdemeanor offense must have been committed in the officers presence.

What if the cop that gave you your citation never signed it or placed his id number on it?
GENERALLY speaking, the officer certifies the citation with his signature.

The officer may be allowed to re-issue the citation, but it is fairly likely that specific ticket is not valid.
