Over a month ago, I received a ticket for disorderly conduct with a few friends. The ticket is for unlawful gathering in forest preserve and exploding dry ice type substance. Now, I was not arrested, just given a ticket. I have a court date, I called the courts and they said it was like a misdemeanor. If I do not show will they mail me a fine? Also, would they dismiss it if the officer doesn't show?
-Thanks,
