Just tagging on here cause it seemed a good place but I was watching a documentary on Ruby Ridge last night and they showed Randy Weaver's arrest record and in the signature slot it clearly said "Refused to sign".
Perhaps local laws are different but it struck me that that's all that would have been required.

Depends on the state law, department Policy, and what the local prosecutor is willing to accept
That was his ARREST report. Not a traffic citation. I wouldn't sign an arrest report either.
