I got a ticket for speeding in a residential area a couple of months ago, and the officer wrote down my speed on the ticket as 25 in a 25mph zone, so I thought he was just giving me a warning (I'd misplaced my registration). Two days before my court date, I get a correction saying that I was cited for going 41mph. Then on my court date, he doesn't show and never filed my ticket into the system. I know he has a year to do this now, but can I get out of this? I'm tired of being jerked around by this guy.

I was turned away from the court house because he'd never set up the court date.

In my County if the Police Officer didn't show up for Court the Judge would ask you, if you wanted to postpone it.
If you said no, the Judge would throw
it out.

I'm suprised the judge didn't toss it out in court when you appeared. did you show him the ticket that said 25 in a 25 zone?
