If you get caught, the ticket is $50. I wouldn't bother.

Slightly off-topic, but what do typical parking companies (impark, DPS, SFU, UBC) do when your car has temporary license? Or would it function as a free parking pass since you'll probably have a new number by next week or the next time you drive?

you can also do it via mobile web as well. you can add/delete license plates, etc. all hooked up to a credit card. this is in vancouver and ubc for sure. not sure if other municipalities use verrus as well.
