Thats pretty much what they do. You can also ask for a continuance yourself. I do it for traffic violations all the time. I tell them i havn't found a lawyer yet and i need a continuance. You can file a continuance twice before you go from county court to mayors court and you can keep working your way up. I think theres some statuate of limitations (or some bullshit) that says the court has 180 days to prosecute for traffic violations. I have once succeeded in filing enough continuances that there time ran up and i was not able to be prosecuted. Just a fucking speeding ticket. 112mph in a 65. the cop was there EVERY single court date. hahaha. OWNED.
