one ticket in one year after getting tints your fine
\
have tints, no front plate and a radar detector
i got pulled over last friday, got two tickets tints and obstruction of windshield (radar detector) which is complete bullshit, guy is a real jerk,
then on top of that he never gave me license back so when i went out saturday night i had to pay the bouncer off to get in, then when i went back to get my license from him he tells he doesnt have it but i am positive he never gave it back to me
my rant

I have 3M 20% all around and when I got a recent speeding ticket I rolled my windows down when I got pulled over.
My tinter said that it's considered a courtesy to do so. (But my ticketer was CHP, so maybe he didn't care anywayz.)

I think I am just going to do what others do though and get a doctors note, all you do is when you get pulled over for tint, just show them the notes and they'll let you go. I have been told this by several people...have you guys heard anythign on this?

yeah if you roll down your window right when you see a cop, it looks like something is up, and it will scope your shit, so just either have them down all the time like i do when the weather is right, or just leave them up

So let's say I get a tint ticket and I just say "fuck it I'll just pay the $60 fine", they just fine me and don't make me remove the tints? I know that at the tint shop I go to it's $60 to remove and redo front windows.
I'm in CA btw.

yeah but you can continue to be ticketed.
i tinted my 99 grand prix's front windows when it wasn't legal in mo. got a ticket and said screw it that won't make me... but then i got 2nd tick within weeks and that convinced me.

the only risk is if they are prohibited entirely or darker then allowed in your area.
doesn't give a cop the right to cut or destroy property.

bs. roll your window down when you see a cop? what happen when the cop sees you first? cops have highly defined observational powers what if its raining or cold? think he aint gonna be a tad suspicious?
besides cops interest in tints is basically for probable cause when they need probable cause.
i respect the uniform when it respects me.

No biggie, though. I'm going to my optometrist next week to get my doctor's note to take to court.
Cops can kiss my ass from now on when it comes to tints.

i got one the other day too. well it was at night. state trooper followed me for awhile and couldnt get me for nothing else so he decided to pull me over for the tint. that cop let speeders fly by while waiting for me to make a wrong move. he finally pulled me over and the first thing he says is roll your windows down. tested my windows and it came up 5%. i got the ticket taken care of. if i take my tint off its only to tint the car darker. i think i'll go limo next time instead of mirror.
