What is the name of your state? PA
I went thru a yellow traffic light and got pulled over and the cop said it was red and gave me a citation. I plead not guilty and paid the $124.00 for the ticket plus court cost. I recieved a letter in the mail from the magistrates office telling me when I need to appear, when I went there they told me the officer requested a conituance but I never recieved notice of it so they told me when to come back, which was today. When I went before the judge she told me the office did not show up so she was dimissing the case and I should recieve a refund in the mail unless the officer refiles the citation. I don't understand why he gets another chance to file the citation. This is twice now I missed work to appear and it didn't proceed because of the officer. Can anyone explain this to me?
