Pretty painless aside from wasting a couple hours at the courthouse. The case was dismissed on the grounds that the issuing officer was "non-Dallas". The judge explained to me that the officer is either no longer with the DPD or never was. I didn't feel like having a long, drawn out conversation with the prosecutor or the judge, but I know that the real reason that the prosecutor had trouble tracking down the cop was because he is part of SWAT and didn't so much as even sign my citation. I urge everyone who has been or ever will be brought up on charges of "gambling" to show up for their date in court (do not pay the fine). It does not appear that Dallas has any real interest in pursuing these matters beyond the made-for-tv SWAT raids that might make for good tv ratings. A total waste of everyone's time (especially the SWAT team). My court date finally arrived today (stemming from the November AceHigh raid).
