Fix-it ticket for front tints :(
#2
Sure, if the judge is a complete idiot. Find a similar color, take a photo of that.
In NYC, this does not work no more, as they became smarter about it.

Lol. That would be amazing if it did work. Possibly inside a courtroom where you would have to actually show a picture, yea it might work.
I had to bring my truck to a state troopers center/office. Two officers came outside and checked it out to make sure. Then they said I had to take off more (had 2 layers - thought one would pass). They didn't even measure it though. Just made me strip everything. Bastards.

in cali, we must take directly to police station and they come out to inspect. i've had to do it 3 times for my last car.
pictures?! OMG. consider it your "get out of jail free" card.
consider contacting any anonymous driver with the same make/model/year/color without tints and switching plates? (of course, you'd have to make it worth their while as i don't believe the cops take the time to check the vin)

Another option... roll down your passenger side window during the day and snap the photo from the drivers side... then up the passenger and drop the drivers side and snap from the other side. Dropping the background window should allow a lot of light in and make it appear like there's less tint.
You do, however, have the issue of them wanting NO tint, which sucks. Worth a shot to snap some pics and if it doesn't look good, then you'll have to strip 'em.

OMG you can do that!? Just take a picture of a car with no tint... and photochop the back windows? Or would that be too crazy?

I live in downstate/central IL (yes, there is more IL than just Chicago ).... Just got the TL a few weeks ago, and tint is on the agenda... I know a few ppl around here who've been hassled for tinted fronts (Illegal in IL)... so I was thinking of going 30% back and 50% front just to give it some contrast. Anyone seen or have this setup? Opinoins on whether it'll work or not???

Well the cop was pissed that I even had the audacity to consider it a question. If they would have tested it, I don't know if I could have got a 2nd ticket....that cop was pissed that I was at his station with what was about 12% on the front (after the 5% was stripped). Hah, so he knew it was dark before if I tried to get away with that. I had it measured twice where it tested .5% (not 5%, .5%). Those were the days.

I agree with Hi speed, its only a 40 dollar ticket here in Utah. Definitely not worth ripping tint off, having peace officer sign off ticket, taking ticket to court to prove tint was removed, and then having tint put back on.

You shouldn't have to see a judge for a fix it ticket. I just wrote a check out payable to the Clerk of County Courts and called it a day. I live in FL so it could be different for you...

Hmm I wish it was that simple to just pay the fine for a window tint ticket but what my Insurance Agent at All State tells me is that my premium will increase if I get a tint ticket since it will be counted as a equipment violation. I double checked this with him multiple times since most have never heard of this. This is really holding me back from getting tints
