What are the chances a cop showing up to court when he gives out a ticket?

Depends. If there is a heavy workload, He may not show up.
However, When a ticket is issued, the Dept. Will make sure that the officer's shift is covered so He/She can get to court.
Unless he gets stuck in traffic, Then I beleve the court will move the court a few days. On your dime of course.
The basic rule is: Don't get caught. But if you do, Take your punishment.
And be nice about.... They may, Not always, let you go with a warning or traffic court. -

CHP Newhall office audits their officers' court appearance. They get in trouble if they don't show up.Comment

The only time I missed court in 30 years was when I was sick.
Why miss it? They pay you to go and if your not on duty, it's overtime.
Besides, the courts rat you off to your department if you don't show up.
