Technically you have the right to face your accuser, i.e. the officer, but it seems the Judges do not like being forced to bring the officer to court and all is does is p*** them off (The Judge) and whatever it is will just get worse on you.

Is it legal for a police officer ot force you to pay for a ticket before your court date?
No police Officer has the power to make you pay a ticket before the court date. I happen to be a police Officer. When a Police Officer writes you a traffic citation he will give you a Court date that you are suppose to attend to prove your innocence. If you choose not to attend court you have the option to pay the fine. Paying the fine before your court date basically is saying that you are guilty. If the officer tells you to just pay the fine reason being is that he either has a weak case against you or he wont show up to court. Now for Example if you plea not guilty in court the Judge will give you another court date to attend in which the officer will be given a subpoena to testify against you. If the Officer does not show up in court the case will be dismissed.
