Even if you do have interactions with local or Provincial LEO’s they don’t care where it’s registered as long as the license and insurance is current.
I can guarantee you if a cop stops you, your going to be in trouble
I’ve been stopped in R.I.D.E. checkpoints twice (regional), and a long weekend ‘Safety Blitz’ (Provincial) once, and speeding (Provincial) once, none of the LEO ever said I word about the fact that vehicle was insured and registered to me in Florida but that I had an Ontario drivers license. I.E. I was not residing in the US.
some cops are lazy and some don't know the law but in your case all you had to say was I just arrived in Canada and Iam on my way home; there most likely not going to challenge you on that statement
It's nothing to do with lazy, you don't seem to understand the law at all.
All LEO's are charged with enforcing a set type of law. Example, an Ontario Provincial Police officer is charged with enforcing Ontario law, both civil and criminal, as well as Federal criminal code, however, a Provincial police officer cannot charge you with violating other Federal laws like the Income Tax Act, or even laws like hunting and fishing reg's.
Likewise, a Provincial or Regional LEO, even with the evidence smacking them in the face and the citizen involved admitting their wrong-doing CANNOT lay charges under the Excise Tax Act, they simply do not have the authority.
There is a hierarchy to laws and law enforcement that cannot simply be waved away or usurped.
