I won one for the reason you mentioned..... the cop didn't show. The two were just formalities. I'm not sure either time the judge even listened to what was said. It just cost me more because I had to pay for the court cost and the ticket.

Seriously, I'm not anti-cop. I've got a couple of friends my age that are cops. But I've talked to a couple or three real jerks too.

I’ve done a lot of ride-alongs over the years. Most of the guys were just trying to do the job, but I’ve seen a couple of badge-heavy idiots, too. One of them was later ‘evicted’ from the force by his fellow officers who got fed up with coming to his rescue every time his attitude got him into a situation he could have avoided. I saw him pull over a senior citizen one night and the senior almost punched him out. I’d have testified for the senior on that occasion.
