I have to disagree with most that have posted here. If I am ordered to be at court at a time, and I am not there, the court will not wait for me, they'll rule only hearing the other side of the story. Why should it be any different for the government side?

You people are buying into the argument that the same rules we live by do not apply to the government. It enrages me every time I see one of our so called Public Servants using their position to get preferential treatment. Like off-duty cops using the HOV lane when by themselves, or speeding. They know a flash of the badge will get them out of being cited. I'm sorry, they can drive in traffic with the rest of us. And they can do their job and be where they are supposed to be at the right time.

This is even worse; the prosecutor is the party who asked for the court's time in the first place. A no show is lack of prosecution, case dismissed.
