Do I have to pay traffic fines issued by foreign governments?

I live in Italy and I own a car registered in Italy as well.

Next year I'm planning a long stay in the US (around 6 months) and I want to bring my car with me.

I was wondering, can I abuse carpool lanes, not pay parking spaces, break the speed limit etc etc with no consequences (while still driving safely ofc)?

If they give me a fine, is it just trash paper or can they somehow force me to pay?

(What I want to avoid is basically going back to the US 20 years from now and getting arrested for that, or something similar)
