Who does the judge rule in favor of when the cop nor the defendant

Question

show up for court for over moving violations

Answer 1

It would be the Defendant since the officer has the burden of proof.

Answer 2

If neither the officer nor the defendant show up in court, the case is typically dismissed as at least the officer must be there in order for the judge to issue a ruling.

Answer 3

In California...

If the defendant doesn't show up their license will be suspended until they clear the matter.

Answer 4

Let me say this for the 50th time.... YOU WILL NOT GET A CITATION DISMISSED because the officer WILL be there... period.

In thirty years, I've never missed a court appearance, and I've only seen once or twice out of thousands that an office didn't appear in court... and there was a good reason.

Now, if YOU don't show up, there will be a warrant issued for your arrest..
