Although I admit it's not as bad "down here" as it is "up thar", I don't think I could stand living in NoJoy. Too dense.
I was just messin with ya, cause this fall I'm going to Stockton College, and down there it is literally like a different state (exit 44 on pkwy). It has a real southern feel to it, kinda erie actually.
However, I can't even stand North Jersey traffic (and I've lived here my whole life). Driving a half-hour to drive two towns over, then later the same night taking five minutes to get back sucks.
But back to topic, in New Jersey I've had two friends whose tickets were dropped after the officer failed to show up for court. One was in Newark, which is understandable (very busy, crime-ridden city). The other however was in a small town. So it isn't true that the cop doesn't need to show up...maybe not in every case, in every county, in every state, but I've personally seen this happen.
