the case is thrown out.
Another View: Unless there is a legitimate reason for the officers absence, (e.g.: delayed because of on assignment - or some such legitimate work-related issue), the above MIGHT apply. The court is usually understanding if the officer is delayed or prevented from appearing due to a work or duty related reason, and will usually grant at least one continuance.

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.

Instead of paying the ticket, you need to show up for the court hearing. It will not be easy to win the case if the police officer shows up for court.
If you go to court and the police officer does not show up is the ticket dropped?
In most cases if the officer doesn't show up to court the ticket is dropped, but it depends on where you get your ticket. If you get a ticket in my home town the officers don't have to show up and you'll still have to go before a judge or pay the ticket.

Is a MN police officer required to show you your speed on the radar?
Since 2010, There are no states that require the officer to show the radar or laser results. Virginia used to have a law, but it has since been repealed. Some departments have policies that allow or require the officer to show you the results. Most states allow the officer to estimate your speed, and this is valid in a court of law.
If you were stopped for shoplifting no police were involved and you paid an out of court settlement will it show up on a background check?
What do you mean by "out of court" settlement?" It sounds like the entire affair may have been handled privately between you and the store. IF the police were never involved (UNLESS the store officer MAY have been commissioned as a Special Police Officer) AND no court action was ever taken - then no criminal record is likely. IF the Store officer did have police powers and you did get cited to go to court, then, yes, you might. Go to your local agency and ask for a criminal background check, (anyone is entitled to get one on themselves), the result will tell you for sure.
