What is the court plea called when an officer doesn't show up at court?

A judge MAY dismiss a case if the arresting officer fails to appear, OR he may choose to 'continue' the case to a new date. If the case is dismissed, the disposition is usually, "Dismissed for Lack of Prosecution." Before that happens the judge will usually try to determine why the officer is not present for a good and reasonable cause (e.g.- is he on assignment - is he ill - etc).

What are some good excuses to postpone a court date for a speeding ticket?
Doctor's Excuse. If you can't get one, then when you go to court ask if the officer who gave you the ticket is there, chances are slim that the officer showed, and before entering a plea request your case be continued or dismissed. If there is no arresting officer, then there is no witness against you, & 99.9% of the time you will get a continuance for review or a dismissal.
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.

After a uncanchans plea of nocontest what your rights to achange of plea?
If you pled 'no contest' (which is effectively a 'guilty' plea) and the plea was accepted and you received judgement, it is pretty much too late to reverse your plea now. You could try submitting a motion to the court for a request to consider withdrawing your original plea, but it might be too late, and the only course of action open to you now would be to file an appeal with the Court of Appeals.
Who was giles Corey in the witch trials?
He was pressed to death by the court for not entering a plea, and he didnt want to entertain the court byt entering a plea. EDIT: To enter a plea back then is like pleading innocent or quilty now. It is more likely that he refused to enter a plea because then he could not be tried and his wealth could not be confiscated, but would go to his family than he did it to aggravate the court.
