Hello all! My wife just got TWO parking tickets in Hamilton during a 12 hour shift. She misread the poorly worded sign and the tickets are warranted... however... her car is registered in Michigan. From what I have read, they can't chase down out of province/country vehicles for parking tickets. So I'm thinking of just leaving them. My concern is even though her car is registered in Michigan, we plan on importing it sometime in the next few months (when time and money allows, it's quite a process!) Does anyone know if we'd have an issue if there are unpaid parking tickets on it or even if it's possible for them to know?? Many thanks!

At this time, I'm not aware of any reciprocal agreement for parking tickets involving out of Province plates. The City obtains owner information from the MTO, which can only provide it for Ontario plates. In short, it shouldn't effect your ability to register the vehicle, nor should there be any record linked to it regarding parking fines. The only caveat is that the City is still looking into reciprocal agreements with other Provinces and States because of the huge revenue they're losing. Reciprocal agreements have been in place in the past, and should they come into force again they could feasibly get your information and send it to a collection agency.

Thank you for the responses, folks. We do cross the border often, but it sounds like we should be okay... I'm still not entirely sure what I'll do. $52 for peace of mind? I don't know. What a pain in the ass though. Couldn't believe they ticketed her twice in the same day too.

I have a lot of issues with the idea that speed measuring devices like radar and lidar guns are using computer generated simulations to test themselves that they are working properly. The manufacturer is making a claim that a device can test itself. Where's the proof that it works?
I was pulled over a couple days ago going down a steep incline on my way to Cobourg. In order to get up a hill in my vehicle, I have to go at least 90 or it gets stuck between gears and then when I was going down the hill I wasn't riding my brake or touching the gas, it just gained speed. When I…
Question, mrsbobajob, a while ago, went to a sleep went to a sleep clinics, due to snoring, not sure if sleep apnea. Now someone told her that if she does have SA, her insurance needs to know and it will go on her license. So she didnt go to pick up her report.
I hope I can paint the picture with the accuracy that the truth deserves. I have no intention of just beating a ticket.. but more like beating a really unfair ticket. You decide!
