I got two tickets by the same cop, he wrote a ticket for displaying a “fictitious” registration, but also gave me a ticket for the “fictitious” registration being expired. I no longer own that car, but I thought cops couldn’t give you two different tickets for one thing?

Signing a citation has no legal effect; the ticket is just a notice of when and where to appear for court. Paying the fine, however, finalizes the case.
