I have to say something sounds odd here. Not a cop, but I have been in government bureaucratic organizations, and it just strikes me as odd that a policeman would tear up a ticket once it is issued. A ticket sounds like something that would be numbered and watched somewhat closely to prevent bad cops from writing tickets and collecting on-the-spot fines...and then tearing up the copy in his ticket book. And the phone number part sounds odd too. I have gotten a total of maybe two tickets and warning in my life, spread out over many years and two countries, but I was not asked for my phone number...

Even if this not how the constabulary works, if she really got a ticket, I would not just ignore it. I would follow up and make sure it really went away. Ignoring a ticket will result in more trouble than the ticket itself...
