here's what i've done to win in court. in california, you have to pay the full bail amount (whatever the fine is $200-500 roughly) then set a trial date. when the trial date is getting near, you have the right in california to change your trial date.
ideally, you wanna set your trial date the nearest to a holiday as possible. the theory being that the cop (who must appear in court) will be busy. also, you can check to find out his days off during the week and schedule for that day. again, hoping that he'll be busy.
i received all this info from a defense attorney and it has worked for me in the past, if the cop does show, ask for traffic court even if they've said the window has closed on signing up.
