has anybody got pulled over for blacked out headlight tint?

I tinted all 5 windows, taillight and headlight when i first bought my car
and about a yr after I got pulled over by a bitchass cop for havin tints
and I had to took all window tints and headlight, taillight tints as well.
and I went to the autoshop and got my windows tinted again on same day.
I also tinted my taillight short after, and I'm about to tint my headlight again..
anyways, my question is...does cops pull u over for smoked headlight??

you had to untint all your windows? its only the front two and windshield that you arnt allowed to tint. also taillight tints are legal as long as cops can see your brake lamps "1000 ft away" not sure what the law is on headlight tints though.

(these laws are in CA)

Sorry bro, I gotta disagree. I asked a cop about taillights and he said any tint on the taillights is illegal. I see where your coming from though, you're looking straight up the law of the visibility, but it doesn't apply.

Why did you have to get the tint removed? Just pay the Tint fine and move on. probably cheaper than what you did.

And bitchass cop?
