Cheating death and fighting communism: that is how a fellow officer once described our job. It was meant to be funny, but as time went on it seemed all too true.
I spent more than ten years in law enforcement, all of it on the street in uniform patrol. I've been a patrol officer, instructor, sergeant and lieutenant.
Do not report crimes here. Nothing here should be considered legal advice. All opinions are my own.
It depends on what the investigation revealed. Was it an assault or self-defense? Since I was not there and did not conduct the investigation, it is impossible for me to say what the best action should be for the officers to take.
Any of the above. It could be anything that is reasonable. Sometimes a suspect will not want to be seen in a police car (looks like a snitch) and will prefer to walk. Other times a family member might pick them up.
I don't know; I am not a mind reader. It is possible that the court has failer to subpoena him/her properly. He/She might be out on medical leave. (etc, etc, etc) It seems to me that the real question should be why can't your defense attorney tell you what's going on?
Nope.

What's the rudest thing a driver ever said to you?
Waving is a friendly gesture, and is appreciated. If they stop, it is a perfect opportunity to get to know the officer and tell them thank you.
Nothing in reality is ever textbook perfect. There are too many variables in every investigation and interaction. Also, criminals rarely cooperate.
