Your copy of a ticket is just one of many. The officer will have one, the court will have one and the DA's office will have one. If you lose your copy, contact the court or DA's office and request a copy. If you have an attorney, he/she can do it, but make the call yourself and save whatever fee the attorney will charge for this simple request. * You can obtain a copy of the ticket from the office of the clerk of the traffic court in the county in which the ticket was issued.

Most states have three levels; some have more. The exact number of levels and their names depend on the state. The most common three levels are the trial court, the appellate court, and the supreme court. The higher-level courts hear appeals of the cases decided in the trial courts. In some states, the names are different. For example, in New York, the trial courts (depending on where you are and what kind of case you have) are called Supreme Courts, Family Courts, County Courts, District Courts, City Courts, Town Courts, or Village Courts; the intermediate appellate court is the Appellate Division, and the highest appellate court is the Court of Appeals. You can check out the New York court system at the related link below - or you can go from there to check out the court court system in any state on CourtReference.

Whether the victim shows up or not has nothing to do with you. If you are in court, you almost certainly have been arrested already. If the victim doesn't show up at the trial (in court) then the state may lose their case against you.
