| | | | Poll: What % of officers didn't show up for trial
What is the name of your state?ALL
This is a poll, to find out how often police officers don't show up for traffic ticket trials. In every State and Province.
If you went to trial on a ticket, please make your best estimate of what % or fraction of the cases that day were dismissed because the officer didn't show up. This should be based upon your personal observations, not those of a friend of a friend!
Please also indicate your State (or Province) and county, or major city.
If your figures are based upon observing a lot of trials, please indicate that too.
I am going to be the first to post a reply.

| | All tickets that I have issued, I have shown up for or gotten continuances. I guess that would make it 0%  |

Of course, this anecdotal poll proves nothing ... but, there are polls all over the internet on all sorts of things - why not here?
