More than 1,000 COVID-19 violation tickets have been issued by police in British Columbia between August 21, 2020, and February 12, 2021. But as of mid-February, less than 6% of those fines have been paid.
Brent Shearer, an ICBC spokesperson tells Daily Hive that a total of 1,058 provincial violation tickets were given out during that time frame.
That includes 170 $2,300 tickets issued to owners and organizers who hosted gatherings or events, 31 $2,300 tickets for breaking the Food and Liquor Serving Premises Order, and 857 $230 tickets issued to individuals who refused to comply with direction from law enforcement.
This amounts to a total of $659,410 in provincial COVID-19 fines. But Shearer says that only $34,956 has been paid. That’s less than 6% of the total amount.
