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. The district attorney's (prosecutor's) office does not handle nor have paperwork for minor cases such as traffic citations.
It's possible but unlikely. Most speeding tickets don't result in a trial; much less an appeal.
The fine imposed for a speeding citation in Georgia will vary depending upon which court in which your citation is pending. In Georgia, speeding is a misdemeanor offense, and any misdemeanor is punishable by a fine of up to $1,000.00 and 1 year in jail. As a practical matter, hardly anyone is sentenced to jail as a result of a speeding citation; however, it can happen.

New York is one of the few states where a speedy trial is required for speeding tickets. You must properly and timely make the motion for dismissal or you will have waived your right. With that said, it is not unusual for a New York traffic court judge to ignore the law. If that happens your only option is to appeal.

As a practical matter, hardly anyone is sentenced to jail as a result of a speeding citation; however, it can happen. With regard to fines, I know of several jurisdictions throughout the state where you would be fined $700.00 (or more) for your ticket.

Yes, it is possible, if you have evidence for your side.
No, the 'speedy trial' clause of the Sixth Amendment is only activated when a criminal prosecution has begun. A speeding ticket is not criminal.

That is up to the lawyer
in most states if the cop doesn't show up, the case is dismissed.
Generally, warrants of that type are enforced only upon the person being stopped for some traffic violation, being in an accident or any other way his identity becomes known to the police. If the police run a check on him, the warrant shows up and he is taken into custody right then and there. He will have to post bail to get out of jail. The court will set a trial date for a trial of the speeding ticket.
You go to Jail and trial
The first thing you need to do if you get a New York speeding ticket is take notes on what happened. It is important for you to be able to recall exactly what happened in case you have to recollect that information. The thing you don't want to do is plead guilty before speaking with a New York speeding ticket lawyer. If you are concerned about points on your license, fines and an increase in your auto insurance and you are uncertain as to whether or not your New York speeding ticket can be challenged in court, you should contact a New York speeding ticket lawyer or New York speeding ticket attorney. You should have both your ticket and the notes that you took on the traffic stop with you when you call. A skilled New York traffic ticket lawyer or speeding ticket attorney will ask you various questions like what you are being charged with, what your driving record is over the past four years, etc. Then the New York speeding ticket lawyer will be able to (a) tell you what you are looking at if you are convicted or plead guilty; and (b) what he or she thinks they can do for you if you hire them to represent you in court. Not only are speeding tickets costly in terms of court fines and auto insurance increases, but if you get 11 points in New York within 18 months, your driving privileges will be suspended. In addition, if you get 6 points in New York within 18 months, you will receive a bill from the NYS DMV for $100/year for 3 years and $25/year for 3 years for each point over 6. So, for example, if you have 8 points on your license, you will have to pay the NY DMV $150/year for 3 years which is a total of $450! Most people feel that if they are indeed guilty (which is true most of the time but is definitely not always true) there is little that can be done and they should simply plead guilty and eat the points, fines & auto insurance increase. Most of the time, this thinking is mistaken. Courts and prosecutors are very busy and most often do not want to hold a New York speeding ticket trial, especially if they know they have to go up against a skilled New York attorney that can give them a run for their money, literally. A good lawyer should be able to challenge the ticket and negotiate a reduction of points and fines to save you money in both the short term (court fines) and the long term (auto insurance). This answer is general in nature and is not to be construed as legal advice.
