I tinted my windows with 20% and got pulled over 2 times in the last week. I had a '01 for ~2 years and my '03 for 1 year and never got pulled over until a couple of weeks ago, twice.

When I got pulled over I had no front license plate, tinted windows and failed to show proof of liability, even though I have it.

The California court courtesy notice came yesterday and the bail is $814.75 and reduced to $666.00 with proof of correction.

Does anyone have any experience dealing with this? I am really confused, becuase I thought fix-it tickets were fixable and you would be charged a service fee, but even if I fix them they are charging me $221 per ticket as "administrative costs." Is this correct.

I have evidence of financial responsibility, will put on a front license plate, and ummm. remove the side tint, I guess. Has anyone ever dealt with this? Will appearing in court reduce my fine, because this fine seems a little STEEP.

 

i get tickets in NJ all the time, cops in nj are pricks though so now I drive around with my window down if my v1 goes off or if i sight him from far away, my tickets were for 48-50$

 

oh crap, i've gotten pulled over for almost every kind of violation and never had to pay that much for just the ticket... but fee for lawyer is another story

i live in NY and tint ticket is just considered a fix-it, just like if you have white turn signals, etc etc, no cost at all, just fix it, but here they give you a form to fill out, if you don't want to fix it, it just costs liek 75$ to pay

 

If you didn't know now, CA has issued that tint and no front license plate is a primary offense ticket, meaning the charges are higher and a police officer can pull you over solely on those two items of your car.

 

i've gotten the tint ticket in jersey before, think it was like $40

 

uhhhhhhhhhh, since when?? I got pulled over in my previous car with tint and only had to pay $15 for the fix-it ticket...that same day I got em re-tinted. This is new news to me

 

Section 26708.5. of the CVC Amended Sec. 2, Ch. 476

 

do you know when this was implemented?

 

It was implemeted when the law became amended in January 1999. Coming from my friend's father who is a former CHP, now an OC Sheriff, (I just spoke to him on the phone a few minutes ago about this thread) peace officers can pull you over anytime, anywhere, on or off duty, no matter what offense it is, criminal or moving violation (when off duty, it better be well worth it. An example of this is a few years ago, my friend's father issued a wreckless driving ticket to some guys at a gas station who he witnessed driving erractically down a busy street.)

 

damn.. i just put 35's on my ride hopefully i wont get ticketed... had 20s on my bimmer and got ticket

 

Not to hijack but rezurex where did you get your tints done and how did they come out?
