officer lost my ticket,?
I was pulled over almost 2 months ago and my court date was 2-3 weeks it was for unlawfull turning and speed contest, I hired an attorney he went to court but he told me that the court postponed my court date because the officer who pulled me over lost my ticket the speed contest ticket and when he gave me my ticket he gave me one ticket with both of the violations unlawful turning and speed contest so how would he lose my ticket and fail to file it , if he had it on one ticket.
My main questions are if they can't find the other ticket what will happen? [my court date was postponed to august]
and my other question is that my lawyer has been looking like crazy if I have a warrant but he cant seem to find my case or warrant if I have one, What if I get pulled over? how do I find out if i have a warrant?, and If I get pulled over and I do have a warrant which I shouldn't I havent missed court what if I get arrested because they lost my ticket what can I do?
thank you for your time and reply if you chose to do so.
also they cant find my case number for the sperated ticket which they weren't suppose to do, Cant they put in my name and find it?
since they cant find it that means it was never filed right?

If the Officer can not produce the ticket, then eventually the case will be dismissed. The courts will not hang around forever waiting for the state to produce its evidence.
If your lawyer can not find any record of a warrant being issued, you likely do not have one. The Clerk of the Courts Office will know for sure.

If there is no record of the ticket you are off the hook.
The officer does not have the responsibility to keep the ticket on file. That would be the agency he works for. He may write the citation but once he returns to the station and finishes his shift he would have turned in any citations that were written during his shift. From this point on it is in the normal system.
The officer will not see his citation again until he is required to go to court at which time one of the copies will be made available to him. The date and time of the initial stop would also be recorded in his daily work log. This would be through the use of the MDT which all Radio Cars are equipped with.
