ticketed by vancouver police - lost transit ticket

I lost a ticket I purchased for the Vancouver metro and was ticketed 175$. I was going to give a fake name, but I didn't want to have to think about the possibility of being apprehended until my identity was verified, since Im a visitor in another province.

I handed a very old license Montreal, outdated license that was expired that had an old address listed on it from two years ago.

What happens if I don't pay? I'm not expecting to be stopped by the police in Vancouver any other time soon.

I also live in Toronto now, not Montreal.

Thanks
 
While it's unlikely that the'll put much sweat into pursuing you over a $175.00 ticket, what you've done could be construed as falsely identifying to a police officer. That's obstruction and can carry jail time. I hope that the officer doesn't feel slighted enough to put in a little work ;)
 
I wouldn't get too worried about it. I suppose they would register a convictiion in your absence. I don't know if that woudl result in a bench warrant on you in BC for some time. If so you could end up being arrested if you get picked up in BC.

My son got a similar ticket (he thought he had his pass on him but turned out he didn't). He took an option of paying a reduced fine with a guilty plea as he felt it was not worth the time to fight it in court.

Good luck.
 
That's why it is good idea to pay with a credit card - then you have a documented evidence, that you did buy the transit ticket (or whatever)... just thought...
