Re: leaving scene of accident
The cop not showing may cause you to have to appear in court more than once. Additionally, depending on the municipality the cop's not showing may not be tolerated.
If your defense is that there was no damage and you have good proof you have a good chance. The penalty for leaving the scene of an accident where there was no bodily injury or death includes a six month loss of driving privileges. You should hire an attorney.

Re: leaving scene of accident
If you are convicted you are subject to two points on your license and a fine, as well as the suspension of your driving priveleges, at least in New Jersey, for six months. I am an attorney who has handled hundreds of traffic court cases in various courts in New Jersey in the past. If you would like to discuss your case in more detail please feel free to contact me. There is never any charge for simply talking to me about a case. Thank you.
