Officer No-Show Dismissal

So I'm going to start off with secret number one And that's one of them that most of us already know I've discussed this simple little secret and that's going to court and showing up And the officer not showing up And yes if the officer doesn't show up to court, the speeding ticket is actually dismissed And why would an officer not show up to court? When I was a police officer, when I'm on duty, there's a lot of things that I could get called to That will take me away from showing up in court for a simple little speeding ticket That doesn't matter a whole lot There's a lot more important things that police officers have to take care of If the speeding ticket is on one of my days off, we actually got paid overtime to show up to court So it's actually a big incentive to go to court to testify against a defendant when it comes to any type of ticket So typically the officer is always going to show up But here again, there's reasons as the officer could be on vacation or something you just never know So that's one simple way just fighting the ticket and showing up to court And yes, it will be dismissed so that is secret number one So here's secret number two and that is fighting a ticket if you're caught on radar
