I'm not sure if it's the same at transit adjudication court but in traffic court in NYC it's not an automatic dismissal if the officer doesn't show. It's up to the judge's discretion and I've seen many times where a judge rescheduled the case, sometimes even more than once. Conversely, I've also seen many dismissals.An officer just doesn't not show up. They are scheduled for traffic court so there has to be a good reason for a no-show, ie: sick, emergency, vacation, appearance at a higher court such as criminal, supreme, or grand jury, a screw up in assignments, or even retirement. |
