"A traffic stop is a non-custodial arrest. The Police officer has the otion of issuing a citaion or taking the violator forthwith to a magistrate. The Citation is the default option."

So all those traffic citations sent in the mail by automatic cameras are not legally binding without a signature?

I actually have no idea-I don't have to deal with it, and haven't researched it. In TX the Code of Criminal Procedure says the violation (Minor) must occur in the officers presence or view (Felonies and other Misdemeanors are different, so I really don't klnow what provisions other states have made for the cameras
