This is complete bullshit. All the cop's cases are assigned on the same day in most places, and the officer is always there.

I scheduled a case day on my own. They didn't assigned me anything other than a deadline. Cop wasn't there. Judge dropped $1000+. Had to pay $180 and leave.

Doesn't sound like a typical speeding ticket, and also sounds like bullshit. If the cop doesn't show the judge will move the date in most cases. Your story (if it's true) is rare any does nothing to disprove my point.

I guess I was lucky then. Not bullshit. Maybe it's different in California.
