1st ticket in the TSX.....
Tinted windows 
I walk out to my car after work yesterday at 430pm and there was a ticket on my window for my tint "tints"
SOB
I have never even been pulled over
Oh well, it was bound to happen sometime and I knew it was illegal when I got them but I am still a little pissed just because I was in Chicago and my car was parked. You would think the City of Chicago Police Dept has much more important things to do 
Guess not.

thanks DanI already know it was my fault. But I still think its shitty that Chicago city cops with all the criminal behavior going on have nothing better to do than ticket a parked car! + my front windows are only 35%, its not like they are 5% - blacked out.
Go ticket one of those ghetto trash folks in their shit mobile with 5% tints
oops. snotty Stephy coming out.

As of right now Im parking somewhere else, trying to hide it
If I keep getting tickets I will probably remove all the tint and then re-tint the rear 3 windows blacked out- black out the back like that one dude did at the Chicago meet with the Greddy exhaust
forgot his name

Really, that sucks, especially since it was not a moving violation. How expensive pf a ticket is that?

I resemble that remark!
My question is.....how did they test your window? Normally you need to have access to both sides of the window for a photometer to properly read how much light is actually transmitted.
You can beat that ticket if you really want, but you have to get your windows legalized before your court date

Didn't you say you were at a brass milling plant? I'd say you have metal particles!!!!
You need that car cover, but be careful with it on a dirty car.
