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.
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?
Call your local police department and ask for their assistance. They will know what to do.
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.
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.

How do you transcribe when people in the courtroom are talking over and interrupting each other?
Accidents happen and a lot of people mistakenly set off their alarms. However, the officers don't know which alarms are accidents or real until they investigate them. If during the course of that investigation, someone surprises them - well, things might get tense for a few minutes. Calling the PD once you realize a mistake has been made is the best course of action. They can tell you if they want you to go outside, stay inside or whatever.
Nothing in reality is ever textbook perfect. There are too many variables in every investigation and interaction. Also, criminals rarely cooperate.
Ask me a serious question.
If you are an adult - move out of your parents' home. Get a job and make your own way in life.
