Oh shoot now I understand why we don’t have it here. Our Fat Tuesday celebration isn’t based much at all on the New Orleans/French one. It’s based on the Polish one so we have Pączki instead.

And if the magistrate finds you responsible you can always hire an attorney before your court date.

Absolutely fight it. If the state wants to hit you with this then make them work for it and use the court's time and resources.

I’m surprised by this because typically police officers are required by their department to show up, quite literally it’s their job. Not only that, typically they get paid overtime to show up to court. I haven’t heard of this happening in many years.
