If you are in Richmond, chances of the cop not showing up is nearly 0. If you are in Vancouver, you might be able to get away. Just dispute it and negotiate with the judge for a lower amount or pay by installment.
After the Olympic, expect more cops and parking enforcers to take your cash if you are not being careful. I see the city parking guy come check the street outside of work pretty much everyday now, they used to come in like a few times of the week.
