I would think it would be pretty easy to beat a photography summons but that doesn't mean the cop doesn't have a right to ask you to stop. It could be for safety reasons. There are guns disguised as cameras. Also one might be blocking pedestrian's paths, etc.
As far as appearing in court, for traffic violations the cop has to appear. For criminal court summonses I think if the violator shows up and pleads not guilty, the judge gives another date and the officer must appear. It doesn't happen much as the fines for criminal court summonses is usually $20 or even just a warning so most people don't bother fighting them. Officers NEVER appear for parking summonses.
