Ticket for Tints in NY

Hey guys i got pulled over by an asshole cop for tinted windows in Brooklyn and he wrote me a ticket for having 13%tint.

How much is it? i could not find it on the back. And what to do to get out of it without paying? Thanks for the help.

20% in front is illegal. Why is he being an asshole? How bout we follow the rules and the cops will leave you alone. Just a thought.


Next time you have the chance to talk to a cop, ask them what they feel when they pull over someone with tinted windows all around?

I have a very close family friend who is a NJ State Trooper and he says he fears each day he pulls over someone who's car he cannot see into.

What a novel idea, obeying the law. It's not the cops who are a**holes. If you're knowingly breaking the law, don't whine when you get caught.

I got pulled over last week by an asshole cop in Elmhurst, Queens. Said my rear tints were too dark...tested with a 14.9% result. The whole time during the testing...i argued with him. When he asked me for insurance, registration and license...thats when i went off. This F**ker cop was goin give me a ticket. I gave him my license with a PBA card and Lieutenant card. He was like what the hell is this! LOL! Then hes like next time dont explain the law to him or he could point out more violations on the car. What a dumbass...my car is 90% stock. Luckly he took my cards and gave me my license back. Told me to get out of here. Freakin Pig!!!

Just venting!!!

The ticket cost $80, I got one for windshield and one for driver side about two months ago. I paid over the phone by credit card two days later, its the easiest way.

Yeah, I think from a cops perspective, if they can't see the silouette of the people inside, it's an unsettling feeling.

Your best bet is to turn on your interior lights, open the roof shade, roll down a few windows, etc. Anything to get more light into the car when you get pulled over. Also, it's always better if you keep your hands on top of the wheel so they are visible.

I'd consider him an Ah if he gave you a ticket per window. I've had that happen to friends of mine.

I think your mindset changes as you get older. I had the same mentality when I was younger and got pulled over frequently.

I'll admit that I have 20% all around except the windshield. Just didn't like the look of 35% and 20 was my only other option at the place I got it done.

Dude...that cop was abusing me with his power of authority. The whole time he was harassing me. I was driving behind him..he pulls to the side and lets me go in front of him while i didnt even do anything wrong he sirens me to pull over. I dont have a problem with my tints...Front is clear...just the back. Been stopped before by cops...check points or whatever i have no problem with, but this dude was really abusing his power. If it was you...you'll be arguing for your rights too!

Hmm, being an ass to a cop might not be the best move.

hey man, the ticket is 50 dollars plus 40 dollars surcharge, it is under Equipment, so thats 90 dollars man.

Brooklyn cops suck, dont they?

Also, your front windows are not tinted? so why the hell was cop pulling u over for? Where you blasting music, driving reckless? He only pulled u over because he thought something was suspicious....man, u got a real asshole cop.
