ive been pulled over too many times for tint and no front plates. never got cited, just got verbal warnings.

needless to say, neither one of my current hobby cars have tint and both run front plates. why? just got tired of getting pulled over and getting asked a bunch of wat mods have you done :D q's.. :ugh:

birdman71 07-30-2015 06:53 PM
That is when you say all legal mods sir :P

But I can understand just not wanting to get pulled over anymore. The big reason my front license plate is off was because it blocks a lot of the airflow into the intakes and to cool the car.

Now my intakes are a completely different story :P I will never answer which way the filters are facing because they are facing the illegal way haha :owned::wtf2:
I flared the filers for the intakes toward the fenders for extra air intake, which the police don't like

And there's no oo way i would set my dashcam setting to record in 3 min interval am i right?

I don't know what's up your *** bro but i came to get info, not to get lectured on what's right and wrong, sherlock. If i needed parenting on morals, you'd be the last person i'd call.

Honestly i could go on some more but judging from what we have so far of you, it's not worth it.

Don't give them any reasons especially if you black cause there slaughtering us like cattle and getting away with it. The only word I use with the cops is "Yes, No and OK".
Your tint is illegal..............."OK"
I need your license ............"OK"
Gonna write you a ticket......"OK"
Have you been drinking........"NO"
Is your licence valid............."YES"
Everything checks out, have a nice day, "OK"

lol... in georgia the georgia state patrol will pull you over for looking weird yet alone tint.

had a friend who drove his car for 10 years, the day he left the dealer lot he went and got tint installed (20% all around) for 10 years he drove and got cited for speeding and what not but never for tint. fast forward to about 2 months ago, coming back from work he got pulled over by the gsp, for illegal tint lol. the gsp officer was in shock no one else pulled him over for tint.

Really?!? did you have to bring that comment here? That's something I used to see on Facebook, (one of the reasons I rarely use it). You came looking for info, with a whiny attitude, and got called out for it. Grow a pair and accept responsibility for getting caught by the CHP for doing something less than legal. A fix-it ticket for tint is a whole lot less 'hassle' than having your ride impounded because you were a douche to the officer. With that attitude, if I had been running the stop, you would have been asked to exit the car, cuffed and set on the curb, while we waited for a drug K9 to come search the car. :shakes head:


On a positive note: Another IBTL thread, fer sher... :bowrofl:

Front plate BS was for the gay intersection camera scheme. Tint laws are always retarded.

I'm planning to do a write in as well. Do you have a guideline for that? I read that you need to:
1. Write a letter with argument - He never saw front window nor tested them.
2. Include the bail out amount (written on ticket).
3. Question: Do they have to inspect the vehicle for the write in? If so, will they come to your house? Or should you go to them?

Problem is, ticket has no amount written on it. He pulled me over with no reasonable suspicion as my front windows were rolled down long before i even pulled over and when I was, it was never pulled back up and he never measured the tints nor even get to see it face to face. The sun was barely visible at the time. Heres the picture of ticket: Imgur

He pulled you over for the lack of front plate, right? That's cause enough.

Thanks for posting that. Found me another place to kill time.

Anyone watched canoe polo vid on the right? I think I just watched someone died :icon08:

Ghostvette 07-31-2015 02:34 PM
A fixit ticket has no amount because it is just that, a ticket to fix a vehicle defect.

Biggest problem I see is OP attitude; he doesn't seem to accept the fact that the CHP officer cut him some slack by giving him a 'fixit' ticket for the tint. He could have been ticketed for no front plate, and probably a host of other violations. It's amazing how the violations stack up when the driver cops an attitude. IMHO, OP should just remove the tint, get it inspected, and call it a day.

I predict OP will have to remove the tint from the windows and wind up paying a fine for contempt. :stirthepot:

Seriously, take your lumps and move on. I do not run a front plate. I get hit every couple of years for it. I know it's illegal and I do it anyway. So when I get popped for it, I write a check and move on. It was my choice that earned me the ticket.

And any time I'm talking to a cop, it's "yes sir / no sir." They have the power to really, really ruin your day. If you are respectful, it's amazing how many tickets end up being warnings.

I'm going to be honest I didn't read OP's post because tl;dr and figured it was a bunch of whining nor did I read any replies and just posted to get my +1.
But now it seems there's some drama so it's piqued my interest :drama:

yes, But if i get the case dismissed based on no proof by officer then i wont get a fine because I didn't get write up for front license plate.

birdman71 07-31-2015 04:06 PM
Well, have fun in court then! :tup::icon18:

The officer was trying to let you off easy with a fixit ticket

I think you overestimate your chances. Usually when it's a cop's word versus a member of the general public, the cop usually wins. How much of your time are you willing to devote to this?

You can see a tint line on a front windshield. If you know what you're looking for. Take the ticket

So you would rather waste a whole day in court vs paying fine ?
Dunno about you but my days are way more valuable than spending all day in court

AMEN to those words. :rolleyes: Time is $$$$.

Uxi 07-31-2015 05:58 PM
You only go to court if you're fighting. The whole system is rigged to make people say f' it, I'll just pay. For a fix-it, it might be worth it.

I get my max 2 extensions and then do trial by declaration and then show up. Usually get reduced, if nothing.

birdman71 07-31-2015 05:58 PM
:iagree:

The time I can spend in court all day is a day that I can make a couple hundred dollars sitting in my chair doing what I need to do to make money. Plus if you buckle down and make that day more of punishment and push yourself to make back the money you spent on the ticket that day, Then heck that is a lot more productive and easier than stressing in court.

Plus if you end up losing you will be incorporating the court costs into your fine for not only your tint but your license plate too.

ShutokuZ 07-31-2015 06:21 PM
Like others have said, why would you be trying to fight a "fix it" ticket? No points assessed, no fines other than to have the ticket signed off, and nothing reported to the DMV..... What would you gain by trying to fight it? You only run the risk of pissing off the judge for bringing something like this to him and making you pay for more than you bargained for. He can also make the front plate ticket stick. I have seen it happen a few times in court.

Minsu 07-31-2015 08:07 PM
Sweet, the thread didnt lock yet.
Im awesome.

victort 07-31-2015 08:12 PM
ibtl as well. Also, the cop saying he saw your front windows tinted is proof enough

PhantaPhanta 08-01-2015 03:09 PM
My last and final edit on this thread. Found out I got a cop friend. Gonna submit and write in for not measuring my tint and no proof. If that fails, Ill get my buddy to write it off and just pay the short fine and keep on the tints.

jshare1 08-01-2015 03:27 PM
Doesnt even have to be measured to see tint on a front windshield, walk up, look for this, yup its tinted. Yes I know its a rear window but front have the same dots
