It is almost the same procedure as for foreign people speeding on the autobahn and getting caught right away. You either pay on the spot your fine or the police will hold you until you payor someone else pays for you.
For crimes yes. As flyinglawyer said without your adress they are not even able to interrupt the prescription period.
