That doesn't mean anything. The SAAQ is not there to collect tickets. The police can still run your fathers plates (because it's under his name...) and know that the ticket hasn't been paid.
And yes, to my knowledge, you father can recieve a ticket for tinted windows in the province, even though he's from out of town. The rules apply to the province, so every one outside that comes for a visit must comply. I'm not saying that there isin't a tolerance for out-of-towners, but thats the way the law is...
