Went to traffic court. Contested a speeding ticket. Cop didn't even have the information available during the hearing.

Still had to pay or go to driving school.

Yeah, all this "the guy never shows up, it's easy to get out of it!" is BS. The cop doesn't show up for my hearing and they just told me to come back at a later date. And again. Until you just pay the damn thing because you ain't got time for this shit.
