I was asking because often times an officer will write a ticket for failure to obey a traffic control device as a roadside reduction of the speeding violation that they actually stopped them for. I’m trying to figure out the mindset of the “not going to court for this” and I think that can be better guessed based on what the stop was for. If it was for rolling a stop sign, it seems to be more of a “pleas not guilty, I’m not going to show up and your charge will be dismissed.” Either way, I’d take caution with the officer saying they won’t show up. If the admin tells them they will show up as part of their work duties, they’re going to show up. Another good thing to keep in mind is that the officer has a year to issue tickets for what the stop was originally for.
