Reply #10: Seems to me you could make something more out of this delay [View All]

I'd explore making a further motion. I don't know about your jurisdiction, but a police officer not appearing in support of a summons is not a "typical" or trivial thing and can easily result in a dismissal (perhaps what they were hoping for -- a silent end).

But they may also, as you suggest, be purposely delaying. This is abuse of and contempt for the court. And the delaying may in fact be an attempt to deny you the vote again -- on the basis of the non-adjudicated, therefore still (falsely) claimable -- "threat" they feel. And to repeat the "ID as threat" fraud on other voters.

You may be able to forced some or all of them -- particularly the cops -- to "show cause" for their failure to appear. Unless the judge is in with them, it shouldn't hurt to formally pose your concerns to him/her.

At the very least you could generate another news item or two during the "down time" before 10/22.
