They can try to postpone it, but on such a retarded ticket they probably wont. Not likely that a local cop wouldnt make it to a court date in his own town, he gets paid to be there.. I've had state police not show up on numerous occasions (every single time was when I had a VA license, hmmmmmm).... and as a result had 4pt speeding tickets reduced to 0 point impeding traffic tickets (which transferred to VA as a 3pt ticket!!!)
Anyhow its usually not worth the effort to fight stupid crap like this in court. I got one for unclear plates because the aftermarket undertail I have had the plate bend in the up position a few degrees and not perpedicular to the ground (which is not even a requirement). there is nothing unclear about my plate, this guy was just a total prick... anyhow the police station/court is literally adjacent to where i work and its still not worth the hassle of sitting in a courtroom for hours only to wind up paying it anyway, and probably more for court fees, etc...
