In California you can show up any time before your court date and doing so pretty much ensures the officer will not be present and from what I've heard this guarantees dismissal of the ticket.

This seems like a ridiculous idea to me but it worked for me, I had a ticket for more than triple the speed limit (76 in a 55 but it was a school zone so it was a 25 zone) but I showed up a week early and it was thrown out entirely.

Before I get flamed for this I should probably explain it was a wide 3 lane per direction road with a 55 speed limit regularly and there isn't even a school near it, it's a pretty ludicrous school zone if you ask me and the flow of traffic was around 65, they all saw the police speed trap and slowed down and I was fiddling with my radio and got busted. And before anyone says this has anything to do with my car, this was back when I drove a 1991 Mercedes 300E. It's a wonder I've never gotten any tickets in my Bimmers.
