I've heard that this is fairly common: officers will often not show up for court dates or file the necessary paperwork, because it's too much of a pain with essentially zero in it for them. Thus, you often win by default. My friend's father contested 4 speeding tickets and won every single one of them. I also had a classmate in high school who contested and won.
