another tidbit of info for those that care: cops are assigned "court days", as in a specific day of the month that they should schedule their cases for. when the cop writes a ticket, he writes the date in as being his assigned court day. judges got fed up with not being able to find a particular cop during court, so the compromise was reached that all cops have a certain day that they write in on the ticket. this way, vacations and what-not can be scheduled around. this is why sometimes the date is next month and sometimes it's next week. just thought i'd share that with you.

this makes it extremely easy to get a ticket thrown out of court if the cop who wrote the ticket can't be found. they usually give him a call and allow him some time to get to the courthouse, but if he doesn't show, you get a free ride.
