Fighting the Law

for a freind.He had a court date for breaking probation,it has been posponed twice. The third time the arresting officer didn't show up, he & his lawyer were there. Should this case be thrown out? From the start.{1}He was on probation to be up in 2 wks.{2}He was stopped for speeding-given a warning & passed the alchol & drug test. {3}Car impounded, left to walk home no phone call. 3 days later called by office from pay phone to go pick up a warrent, went to station & no record. called 3 days later had 24 hrs. to pick up a warrent or go to jail. Warrent has DUI & breaking probation. He wasn't given a sitation for speeding & the alchol test were below legal limit. Is this a case of harrasement?
