Pulled and ticketed for tinted windows

PhantaPhanta

Maybe it was profiling, maybe it wasnt, only he knows. As to why I'm angry... think of it like this. Sure, I won't argue the license plate, but when you get pulled over for your front windows being tinted when... they were rolled down, then... that's a little suspicious.

RonRizz

When you say you were asked repeatedly about ownership of the car............................................... .
According to your video "evidence" he asked you only twice if you owned the car. the second time was right after he asked you for the second time for your registration, which you apparently did not hand him along with your other info.

Sorry, guy, I don't see anything here that would indicate he is a hater of either Asians, or the 370z. All I see is a disgruntled driver pissed because he couldn't hide his illegal window tint from the police.
Window tint laws are in place for a reason (although I don't personally agree with it, and have one of my own vehicles tinted) But if I get caught, I'm not gonna bitch and moan, and cry "profiling" or any other BS about it, I'm just gonna have it removed, as the law dictates, and move on.
You gotta pay the price to play the game.

Do you read anything before typing? Or you'really one of those ignorant guys on Facebook that tries to sound like a smart ***? The officer is limited to only asking me ownership twice because in the video he gave me the ticket already right? Because from the time at the end of the trimmed video till the time I left, no way could he have slipped in more words with me right? 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.

One could ask you the same questions. RonRizz prefaced his statement as quoted above.

You broke the law, you got caught, quit whining about it and pay the fine. As the Beretta theme song said, "Don't do the crime if you can't do the time."

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.


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

based on previous posts it would seem no front plates and tinted side windows are infractions in cali.

know the laws before you break them because if you claim ignorance then they are gonna hammer you like little johnnie will when you drop the soap in a state pen.

SouthArk370Z

The fact that he rolled the windows down when he spotted the cop (see first post in this thread) leads me to believe his tint is not legal. YMMV

Did the cop follow proper procedure? Probably not (I'm not familiar with CA law). But it's not like he made up some bogus charges, either. If you don't want to display a front plate, move to a state that doesn't require one. Same for tint. If ya wanna play, ya gotta pay.

I love kids nowadays, society has taught them it's never their fault and being bullied

It sucks but just pay the ticket and get the car fixed

In California any aftermarket tint on the front driver and passenger side windows is illegal. Period. Furthermore, any vehicle code violation is sufficient grounds for a police officer to stop you, no matter how trivial. Thus, you're welcome to fight the ticket in court and lose.

FWIW, window tint violations are rather cheap (typically a fix it ticket). So many people simply remove their tint, get the removal signed off at the local police station, and then reinstall it. In fact, in my neck of the woods one of the most popular window tint places in literal right up the street from a Sheriff substation for this very reason.

My old car, I was haggled all the time in san diego for tints but as soon as they saw that I was active duty and the tints I had were legal for my state of residency they walked away with their heads down.

Rule of thumb, if your pulled over for dumb crap like tints or license plate, the cops usually had some other reason to pull you over but had no proof. Like you were hooning but they weren't clocking, or its late at night and they are looking for a DUI.
