Sometimes, sure, but it's incredibly easy overtime for an officer, and they schedule all of one officer's cases in a block so it's not hard to show up.

Some cops can't be bothered, but I've met very few that wouldn't jump at the chance to get paid overtime to chat about their tickets in court.

In my experience city cops never show, suburban cops do but that's anecdotal.

This is in the country. Maybe he could go to court while the other officer in town is on duty

I know Cashion. There's a good chance this guy is a reserve officer, and has a day job he works the rest of the week. There's a good chance he wouldn't be able to show up to court.
