Hi, there was a case, is very rare, but One time i lost the entire ticket book so no tickets went to the court. But, on your ticket, the green copy of the ticket will go to court and you will get a white one , if you were caught by lapd. The ticket date is always scheduled by the court. The scheduled date is given by the officer either it is provided behind the officer 's ticket book or asking the operator for the correct date. When you were getting a ticket, it is more than likely that you did not tell the officer about your new address. However, you don't have to worry too much, just go to the court , in Los Angeles is in 1945 s hill st, and tell the court clerk that you had lost the ticket and you are here to pay the fine ( even the court has already issued a warrant for your arrest) If your court date has not been expired, just pay the fine and ask for a traffic school. If the the court date has expired, the court clerk may ask you to see a court judge, where only the judge can dismiss your ticket. If they tell you that you had to stand in front of judge. On that situation, it is even better because you can ask the judge to reduce your fine and go to the traffic school. Sometimes, it could be judge's choice to reduce the fine or go to the traffic school. Sometimes the judge will both fine you and let you go to to a traffic school. If he does that, even you go to a traffic school, perhaps as part of your fine your driver's license still shows your violation; therefore, you could still had one point in your driver's license Record. Good luck
