Technically, your signature on a ticket is your bond to appear/answer.
If you won’t sign, you are refusing to post bond and the officer can take you into custody.

Should they tell me that before or after they taser me?

But is the officer authorized use use lethal force against someone just because they won’t sign the ticket?

Post bond for a violation? In NH there is no provision for the driver to sign the ticket. They plea guilty by paying the fine, or not and get a court date.

Washington state doesn’t require signatures any more on tickets. Just one more little bit of our freedoms taken away. I always liked to sign mine “(under duress)All right reserved - my name” cops always gave me a look when they saw that. Now I can’t anymore.

No, they have to take you for a probable cause hearing; unless you have shot your mouth off and confessed or they have found enough evidence to arrest you.
