In big cities that have real crime problems, they might not show and you'll get off. Either way, I totally think you should go if for no other reason than to piss the cop off. I have gotten off in the past by caling the curthouse to reschedule the court date for a day the cop will be off. As Foxy said, most times the cops get OT to show up so they will nowadays more than likely, but worth a try. If you can't get it for a day the cop is off and it will be thrown off, talk to the cop BEFORE you head into court and talk down your points if there are any associated with your ticket. Best of Luck!
