Answer

The case is not immediately dismissed, however there is no witness to go against you. So if you state that he radar gunned the car in front of you and he isn't there to testify he radar gunned you, then the case will likely be dismissed or the fine will be reduced dramatically. Good luck!

I already went to court and they rescheduled me for 12/23 after cop did not show what is the law about subpeona's and showing up.

Accepted Answer

A subpoena is a court order to come to court. If they don't, the judge has the power to hold them in contempt of court. Usually if the cop doesn't show, they don't reschedule it, but just go forward. Unfortunately the judge has the power to continue the hearing again, but you should argue that has cost you money to be there etc. and the judge should not continue the hearing any more.
