u/Initial-Setting-3254

6 months ago I had a parking ticket on my car for unauthorized parking on private property but the plate on the ticket had one letter wrong from my actual plate. But the make of the car on the ticket is correct. So I took a photo of the ticket and threw it in the trash. This happened in Ontario and my plate is Quebec so I thought this ticket can't do anything to me because my plate is not an Ontario plate.

I just looked up my ticket on the city website and there have been fees to increase my fine to $165.

What should I do, should I just ignore it because of the amount of time that has passed?

Not really a big deal but 6 months ago I took someone's parking ticket off their car and threw it in the bin. I don't know if it matters but the officer that gave the ticket got one letter of the car license plate wrong. I just looked up their ticket on the city website and it still hasn't been paid. The fine to pay the ticket early was $80 now there have been fees to increase it to $165.

How screwed is the car owner if they just never pay?
