May 14th I got a speeding ticket in my work car for going 82 in a 55 (oops, yeah it was dumb.) I lost the ticket because I lose everything that’s not attached to my hip. I’ve been trying since then to send to contact the court and get a copy of my ticket and pay the ticket online. It’s been frustrating since I have to report it to my boss, and also pay the ticket.
The sheriff’s department only uploads tickets on Mondays. I have been calling, but repeatedly they haven’t found anything and this Thursday was supposed to be the court date, so I was getting nervous. They suggested I call the records department at the sheriff’s office, so I do. I reach records and they search for citations on that date with my name on it and they turned up nothing. I tell them the name of the deputy and they transfer me to dispatch. Dispatch says they found the name of the deputy, a call log of the traffic stop, but the deputy had left the department that week.
Apparently before he had left he hadn’t uploaded the tickets in his system. They said they would talk to the other deputies and have them upload his tickets for him. So sure enough I get a call today from the court with a new court date and payment information for my ticket.
TL;DR: I lost my ticket and called the sheriff’s department. If I hadn’t lost it they probably would never have uploaded them to the system for me and everyone else that got pulled over in that two week period, so now we all have our original fines and new court dates. Yay.

Hey brother, go to court. Search the best process on how to dismiss it when the cop doesn’t show.
I know in my state, if the cop doesn’t show up to court, it’s automatically dismissed. Considering he quit, he probably isn’t planning on showing up to court. (Might be why he didn’t upload them in the first place)
Nice. A proper FU
