In the USA, traffic tickets are usually issued by a police officer stopping the violator and physically handing them a citation. This is the same process for a misdemeanor summons, but the latter requires the person to come to court rather than pay a fine online or by mail, and can involve harsher penalties.
There’s no difference in that process when there’s a license plate and driver’s license involved; the license plate just makes it easier to track down someone who flees.
I understand that. You were the one struggling to understand the original commenter and getting hostile because of your misunderstanding.
I was attempting to clarify for you. Frankly, I don’t care what the situation is since I don’t live there and was informed by someone who does that “laws don’t really apply”.

Where was I hostile? I never intended to express hostility to anyone here, just disagreement with NYC traffic enforcement practices.
