Dr. Seuss; Informing the police officer that he is not willingly going in the car or traveling on Shabbos, does not change the situation. He is not a sack of potatoes. He still participated in chillul Shabbos. But the facts in this particular situation were such that the (farshtunkene, anti-Semitic, dumb) cop refused to follow the Yid to his house, where he would have presented ID. Instead, he threatened to arrest him if he didn’t sign the ticket on the spot. But, normally, in NYC you don’t have to ( nor are you asked to) sign a ticket.
