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.

 

wtf... thats whack.

 

Tell me about it, City of Chicago (not even burbs) ticketing a parked car!

LAME!!!

 

Illegal tints and you got a ticket, who would have thunk it.

 

thanks Dan

I 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.

 

 

And you were talking at the meet about this. I think you cursed yourself.

 

4real.

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

 

Too bad the cop didn't see you...he probably would have honked and whistled, then let you go! lol

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

 

maybe chicago needs some money

 

I know I wish I would have been out there, maybe I could have talked my way out of it

Its only $25, but to me, its the thought of the whole situation that bothers me

Guess he didnt care when he pulled up my info from my plates that the car was registered to a woman
.... musta been a lady cop

 

that's crazy
fucker could be one of the many whistling guys you and at

 

$25.00? That is really cheap! I thought tint/tints(lol) tickets were much more expensive than that...

 

apparently

I have been parked in that same spot, same car, same tint, for the last 5 months. Guess someone got jealous and decided to ticket my beautiful ass car

 

Probably

In that case, he can keep

 

Wait, so its just a fine? Or is it a fine and a fixit ticket?

 

So far my car has been a okay with tints I think the same 35 % front 20 rear.

The legal limit is 70% in ny I think haha... but its not even really a tint at all.

 

Yeah I know, I was surprised and very happy. I was reading the other violations and charges and I dont have a city sticker since I moved and bought the car that one is $120 charge! I will be going to the Village of my town this week!

 

Probably supposed to fix it, but it was in a mail in form, so Im just going to mail them a check and hope its all forgotten

 

how can a cop tell the difference...in PA i think its 35% is legal all the way around....how can a cop tell the difference between 35% and 20%?

 

In the other thread brakejob (a Bay Area cop) said that his cruiser is tinted to the legal limit so that he can just pull up and compare.

 

In IL its illegal to have any tint on the front windows

OOPS

"I swear ossifer, I didnt know I dont know anything about cars I am just a blonde woman and I swear I bought this brand new like this"

 

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

 

ah ha!

 

Next time just throw a car cover on when parked. Problem solved.

 

It was probably the meter maid.........

 

$25 fine? You might as well just keep paying them. It's like a user fee.

 

BLONDE??? Oh please... now ur trying to say ur blonde.

j/k HAHAHA

 

Well I am blonde, brunette and redhead hahaha

 

Yes, but do the curtains match the drapes?

 

moving to Home & Garden?

 

It cost that much or more to have someone remove the film anyway. The invest in a car cover

 

I believe you meant to say carpet.

NICE ONE!!!!

 

You will never find out

 

Gave Dan the benefit of doubt that he was talking about her eyebrows.

 

I was going to do this anyhow I think. I dont know what it is but some kind of particles from around that area (maybe railroad dust) have been sticking to my clear coat

Just bought a clay bar.... but I need to figure out how to get it off the plastic panel between the doors that runs vertical

 

I dont have any carpet



hahah

 

Awww Dan... why are you trying to turn away another female off this forum. You come on too strong!!!

Think about it..

 

Carefully scrubbed on Dawn should do it.

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.
