This just isn’t true from my experience at least. We would get written up if we

Many cops DO show up because you get paid to show up and it's easier duty.

Cops shows up.... come up with a reason for a continuance .... and the charade continues.

12:56pm

I submit they want to show up multiple times to get easy duty and that's

Not my experience. Never had a cop show up a second time or a city attorney/ district attorney that didn't either

Well... it's not civil court and as a law clerk who handled a crap load of these in traffic court/ city court

I would not do this. The court has discretion to reschedule and the judge will

I've been to traffic court maybe 3 times. All 3 times they cut the fine in half

I'd just make my kid ride a scooter for a month. Lesson learned.

As an 18 yr old, I got a ticket for 80 in a 75 zone.

Not an expert, but I used to sit in on these as an intern years ago.
