When does a peace officer not have to obtain a signature on a citation?

• A. No signature is required on a citation for offenses outside Subtitle C.
• B. Signatures are always required on all citations.
• C. Signatures are required only for Subtitle C offenses.
• D. Signatures are never required for any citation.

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that whether a peace officer must get a signature on a citation depends on the category of offense. For offenses outside Subtitle C, there is no requirement to obtain the recipient’s signature on the citation. This matches the option that says no signature is required for offenses outside Subtitle C. It’s not that signatures are never needed or always needed; rather, the rule specifically waives the signature for non-Subtitle C offenses, while Subtitle C offenses follow different procedures that may include requiring a signature.
