Did the cop show up?

So my question to all of you is...when you took your ticket to court, did the cop show up?

Don't rely on the officer to not show up. They get paid time and a half for court dates.
Schedule a meet with a prosecutor BEFORE the trial date is set. Be honest, be humble. They respect that.
Chances are they will drop the points completely and reduce the fine. If your record is clean and you have no outstanding fines to pay - you may get lucky with the entire charge going dismissed.
