If you have such reasons, such as an illness, you can file a motion for the court date to be changed. However, if the Judge finds out later that you weren't really sick, you would be in trouble.
Other acceptable reasons to offer to a judge:
Death in the family.
Need time to consult with an attorney.
Need time to prepare case.
The judge can issue a Bench Warrant for your arrest. You should contact the court.
Does the plantiff in a divorce have 2 show up for court
food poisoning
If you fail to show up for Court the judge will issue a bench warrant and they will come to get you.

Once you are subpoenaed you can not get out of it.

Typically, the officer won't show up on the first court appearance. You will plead guilty, not guilty, or no contest. If you please not guilty, the court date will be set up for the officer to show up. The officer gets paid his regular salary to go to the court date.
If you show up in court and it is discovered that you have an open and un-served warrant out for you, you will be taken into custody, transported to the law enforcement agency and booked, and then returned to court for arraignment.
