Yup, apparently so.
I showed up @ 10:10, (court was @ 10:00), signed in and talked to the prosecutor. At first I was going to ask for a continuance but since I didn't see the cop in the courtroom (with the rest of the other cops) I asked him (prosecutor) "is he (cop) even going to show up?" (then somewhat explained the circumstances behind the ticket). Prosector told me he gives everyone a half hour after the official court time to show up, and if the cop hadn't shown up by that time to come talk to him. 10:35 rolled around, walked up and asked him "hey he hasn't shown up yet, can I request a dismissal?" 5 minutes later dude walked up to me and said "your all set":fuckyeah: Whole thing took less then 30min.
