I have sat through full days of court (for study reasons) 12 times and tickets get tossed
when officers do not show up. and that happens a lot.

fact is, you have zero chance if you pay it.

you have a little chance if you go to court

I did show up. I have been back and forth for a year now. Why fight a ticket if you deserved it. I love how people say to fight it all the time. I was speeding and I got caught.

Id have to agree with him. I have gotten a speeding ticket and a "failure to stop at sign" since I have had my license and I know even though everyone does the second one all the time "rolling stop", in the end I was caught breaking the law plain and simple. So I just paid both and got over it and never do it again, I drive either the speed limit or up to 5 under and "stop" at all signs(which piss people off apparently). Im not sure if this is statewide here, but in our county/city, a case will not be thrown out anymore just cause the cop does not show up.

exactly. Pay the small fine and be careful next time. Oh and 25 over is usually grounds for them to arrest you.

I agree about the stop signs. I get honked at all the time. I am waiting to get rear ended one day. I check my rearview when coming to a stop sign to see if the other driver is paying attention.
