Copy of a ticket doesn't show the court stamp/file date

Asked 9 months ago - Lynnwood, WA

Flag

I have a court date coming up for a speeding ticket. I just received the discovery and I noticed that all of the docuements in it, such as the copy of the ticket and the officer's sworn statement, do not have the stamp with the date in which it was filed with the court. It is to my understanding that the court always puts a stamp on it showing to when it was filed. Would this maybe just be a copy from the prosecutor? Does the ticket that officer writes have more than the 2 copies? Carbon copies that would be.
