Lost ticket

[94gti]

I got a ticket in BC about a month ago, and I can't seem to find the ticket any more, is there any way I can still pay it?

Re: Lost ticket

Call a BC station and have them scan your name/license number i'm guessing.

Re: Lost ticket

Not sure if BC tickets count in AB yet (against your record, I heard that was coming into play but that was awhile back) but if they do, you can (and will have to) pay it when you re-register your car (for a nominal fee, of course )

edit: Speaking of tickets, i got a freaking 'failure to produce a valid fare' ticket on the c-train the other day hah..brutal!

Re: Lost ticket

Re: Lost ticket

$150

haha well in all honesty, it was about time I got one..I take the train alot now and havent paid once (usually only go a few stops past the free fare zone)

I was gettin off at earlton and the transit pigs got on at vic park..so I was just standing by the other door listenin to some tunes and i got off and walked away all casual like..anyways, some lady stops me and I turn around and the transit cops and gotten off and wanted to see my non-existant ticket

Out of curiosity, if I were to refuse to give them my ID what could they do? They cant restrain you, right? I guess they'd call the cops but the perp would be LONG gone by that time

in junior high they sat me down, and made me call my mom cause i had no ID on me. i almost got one last year because i simply forgot to put my $1.50 in. they understood and let me go

You're joking right? You just had 1.50 ready in your pocket and they let you off?

Re: Lost ticket

So whats the verdict on not paying it? Will I become a wanted felon?

Re: Lost ticket

only if you get pulled over in BC again... then if its overly outstanding, they could be dinks about it.

Re: Lost ticket

ya, and after 7 years i believe you're off the hook so if you dont plan on goin back to BC for awhile...

Side note: The transit pig that gave me a ticket the other day called yesterday and said 'i made a mistake on the ticket so you can go ahead and throw it out, its not valid'

Re: Lost ticket

/\ wow. you dont get that everyday. i would say pay the fine. a buddy of mine didn't. couple years later, he got pulled over. there was a warrant out for him. charges were "fraudulantly obtained transportation" (or something like that) and also a "failure to appear in court" for that charge. that goes on his permanent record. at least the cop never took him in, he gave him a summons.

I had a speeding ticket thrown out in the exact same situation, best day of my life.

Oh and about the "I forgot to buy one" situation, a 14-22 year old would never get away with that.
