fix it ticket question
Don't really know where this belongs but basically I got a fix it ticket for my rear brake light and no license plate. So I got everything corrected, took it to a local sheriff station in walnut since it was on the way back home from work. Told me I could get it all done in one process at the court house. fine. By the time I got there, they were about to close in 10 minutes and since I didn't park in the right area, told me to go away to the CHP. fine. Went to the CHP to get it corrected. Cop came out and checked those two problems. Smooth, or at least I thought so. He told me to start the car. I have greddy evo2's which aren't even that loud and WELL within the decibel limit. Told me to turn it off and said having any exhaust is illegal and my front tint is illegal. (why even ask me to start the car if any exhaust is illegal) Now my front tint is BARELY tinted and I'm pretty sure if an exhaust is over 95 db, then it's illegal. The fact that he said all exhausts are illegal to operate is what threw me off guard. Cop said he won't sign it off unless I want to get another fix it ticket for my tint and exhaust. Told me to come back when I strip my front window tint and exhaust put back to stock.
Now my question is, was he in fact right about the tint and exhaust or was he bull shitting me. I'm pretty confident about the exhaust, not so sure about the tint.

For exhaust, I've heard stories that if you have receipts and proof that states that it is well within limits and is made for your car, he shouldn't give you a problem. Of course in general rule, anything that modded is practically illegal (From what I heard. Lol Even changing rims.)
Just my 2 cents.

honestly.. cops dont really give a shit if its within decibels..
to them, modified is modified.. if it looks aftermarket, and sounds loud, they wont let you get away with it..
your better off just paying the ticket instead of getting it all corrected.

First, Remie you're stupid... at least you got your tint law kind of correct. It applies to all of California.

If I recall right, give Greddy a call. I think you can get paperwork from Greddy showing that your exhaust is well within the legal sound limits.
I'd go somewhere else too. The cop that gave me my front plate ticket said I can go to any police officer I see on the street and show them to get it signed off too.... if you don't want to go to the police station. Just make sure the cop isn't too busy and be polite. Make sure you roll down your all your windows though haha.

I've been hearing no tint, 88% tint, and now 70% tint lol I only got a ticket for no front license plate and rear brake light went out. He was about to write another for illegal tint and exhaust but told me to fix it instead of giving me another one.. My tint is REALLY light (not even kidding) and my exhaust is quiet as hell. I wanted to dispute him so badly... Wasted 3 hours for this shit, and I really wanted to get it done all in 1 day to only be stopped by this guy. I mean I fixed all the shit I was written up for. Just sign it off... To test it, it'll be at least 100 bucks which I'm not willing to do. Honestly, I think he just didn't want to do it and gave me this extra bs to do. I'll see if I can call greddy to send me some documents to prove that it's within decibel limit so I won't have to go through the testing bs and police bs.

Our windows come with a light green "uv" tint already. From what I recall, that's pretty much the legal limit. In more specific words, the front windows can only be tinted by the manufacturer, pretty much no aftermarket tinting on the front windows is allowed unless you spend $600+.

Lol, I got a ticket for only front plate. Riding it out for another month and a half, can't get cited again since it'd be double jeopardy
