Court Procedure (New York)

After pleading not guilty to a traffic ticket (Unnecessary use of Horn), I appeared in court (Suffolk County,NY) on the scheduled date. The complaining officer did not show up for the hearing. The judge rescheduled the hearing, even though I requested a mistrial.
The Judge said the officer wasn't present because of an emergency, and was allowed a second chance.

Two questions:

(1) I'm sure I wouldn't be allowed this courtesy, is this legal?

(2) The same scenario occured with the previous 6 defendants in court that day....I have real doubts about the veracity of all these officer's "Emergency" claims....How do go about subpeonaing my officer's daily activity report for that day?

I am a law school graduate. What I offer is mere information, not to be construed as forming an attorney client relationship.

Wow, you detective you! Colombo has nothing on you! : - )


Okay, go to your local superior court and do two things: get a subpoena duces tecum for the activity sheet and get one to subpoena the transcripts of the court hearing of that day.
