A: You are not required to sign the citation in Minnesota so that is neither here nor there. I would imagine that you are going to be mailed a copy of the citation so you should be looking for that in the mail.

A: Police do not ask drivers to sign citations in Minnesota. If the police officer does not hand a citation to the driver at the scene of the stop, they (or a prosecutor) could mail it to the driver.
