Hey everyone, as surprising as it is I just received my first ticket today and don't know much about them.

My question is this, was the cop supposed to write a court case number at the top of the citation? I'm not able to find my case on the website to pay the ticket either, which is weird since he said I can pay it online. It was for a non-moving violation for my exhaust, which ironically isn't really that loud.

Forgot to mention that it was in Virginia Beach.
