This question is missing critical information. If you are over 21 and this is your court date and you are charged with a misdemeanor, the cop doesn't have to show, the first appearance is an arraignment and you simply enter a plea and get a new court date, if you missed this date then you likely have an outstanding arrest warrant. If you requested a DMV hearing within 10 days of your arrest and the officer didn't show at the hearing then you should have selected a new date (over your objection) and you would have had notice of the new date. If this was a DUI Infraction hearing and the officer failed to show, you should have won. If you didn't win, then you should have been present in court when the new date was selected in which case, you had notice. A DUI lawyer in your area may be able to help you get a new hearing.
