Pulled and ticketed for tinted windows

Exactly how I handle the police too whenever I get pulled over.

birdman71 · 07-30-2015, 04:52 PM

I couldn't have said it better.

I know 2 people personally who I have known for closer to 11 years now, one is a CHP and one was a detective and then moved to CHP. Both are great guys in and out of the uniform. I say that because I have run into them while on duty before and seen how they are with others as well as myself.

It's all about the respect being held for the other person.

Think of the UFC: their objective is to kick the living crap out of the other person in the ring, but 9 times out of 10, almost 10/10. What do you see when the fight is over or the bell has rung in between rounds? The respect the fighters have for each other.

IMHO Most cops will not pull you over for the sole reason of tint. Most of the time that infraction is attached to another higher infraction such as what happened to the OP with no front plate. The reason why the OP got a "fix it" ticket is because the cop did not run a tint meter and knew it could get thrown out in court. Most cops do not even carry one in their cars anyways.

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.

They usually have the speed gun and that is it. And most of the time the gun isn't calibrated correctly to be used to give a ticket anyhow.

A lot of people just are like well he got me on the speed gun, it must be right. Not always. But if he has the certificate of calibration for the gun, well then by all means write me up a ticket and I will pay it and do traffic school lol

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

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

I flared the filers for the intakes toward the fenders for extra air intake, which the police don't like

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