Am I the only one?

Is there no way to just go to court and pay the full fine? Never got a tint ticket. *Knock on wood*

Here are some of the many great reasons why I deal with this expensive State (other that perfect weather and nice terrain on the east and beautiful water in the west).

The world famous Rose Parade

Showgirls 1000's of them and 3 ugly ones.

Meh. I'd rather live in Phoenix and just take the 4-6 hr drive to Cali to visit.

Sometimes you get a cool cop/whomever does the validation out here in Phoenix. My buddy was stopped and the person that the judge sent to verify it was a car guy and he was like, "This is stupid. You fixed it, right? Right."

I got a driving without a licence fix-it ticket. I showed them my ID and they dropped it. If I hadn't, I would have had to pay the fine. That's it.

Can't you just leave the tints and pay the fine for the violation? What are they going to take your car if you don't get it fixed?? I would just accept the ticket, pay the fine, and leave my car as is.

No it's not BS at all. Many people will agree that visibility is greatly reduced with that sort of tint. Heck it's not BS because I have 15% and I have a hard time seeing at times. Looking into your mirrors to change lanes at night when there are no street lights is pretty difficult. Reversing sucks. Trying to see a curb is a challenge. Don't even get me started about when it rains...

Just because you experience something differently than others does not make it BS...

I guess you can be right but I have no issues with visibility with or without street lights, I have a rear view camera so looking back does not bother me, and well I live in a desert so rain is never an issue.
