They were illegal though, had to be damn near limo tints , lmfao.

Well I wasn't speaking specifically with drivers in mind, I just meant in general. People seem to do a lot of stupid **** in this state. But then again, we get a lot of snow birds so we see those same bad drivers you do.

I have heard of people getting tickets for Tint in Florida but its always been for under 10%.

Thanks Flash, lol.

As for FHP, those men and women don't play when it comes to cracking down on illegal tint. I am not a fan of too dark of tinting myself when conducting traffic stops at night, because even with my duty light it won't cut through enough to see inside during the approach.

Although I admit, the darker tinting does cool down the interior significantly.

Sooo true about the snow birds and yeah in general, I did see some people do really stupid things there. Like one kid try to take a hook out of a bull sharks mouth that he caught and dragged up onto the beach...

The only real issue I can see with tints is that when pulled over it gives the person inside amble ability and cover to set up an assault on the officer as he approaches without his knowledge of the present dangers. The average joe schmoe isn't thinking this but since a large amount of drug/gun/whatever runners get pulled over and caught for you're regular traffic stop BS (amazing how many drug runners speed) it makes sense to enforce there rules for the LEO's safety.

I just always roll down all my windows and keep my hands up high and on the window sill so they know no funny business is going on.

Yep, first thing I do is roll down both my windows all the way. I try to keep both my hands up high on the wheel, but sometimes I forget. I definitely understand where a cop is coming from, because they never know what the **** might go down by a simple "routine" traffic stop. Nothing routine about it.

Does your state have a driver improvement course/school? I would definitely opt for it if it reduces the fine amount and will not accrue points once completed.

Yes NY allows you to take off upto 4 points.
