Well I met my first douche bag cop of 2007 last week. Pulled me over at 11:30pm for tint and exhaust. To be honest i was going in 25mph in 3rd of a 92 CX, and we all know how those trannys are geared. So keep your head low and windows down (if you have tint) when you go through Lake Placid, New York.

 

how dark was your tint, and how did he see it? couldnt you roll your windows down as he was pulling you over?

 

20%....i never saw him until the lights were on behind me and he strictly went to my window and said

cop: "Do you know why im pulling you over?"
me: "No sir, i know i wasnt speeding."
cop: Ok. Well your exhaust is kinda loud and your tint is too dark, i'm going to have to give you a ticket for both"

 

quota hunters

 

damn that sucks...where do you live and what tint/exhaust laws do you have?

 

Upstate New York. As far is exhaust is, every cop taht has pulled me over says it illegal to mod it at all, but i doubt that is true. Because this is the first ticket i have gotten for it. And i know they just changed the Tint law in 07 to like 35% i think...dont quote me

 

Where I live if it's a coupe you have to have no less than 70 on the front side windows, anything you want on the back side windows and no less than 20 on the back window... nothing allowed on the front except for I think like 5 inches of vinyl on the top of the windshield.

That sucks though, you know that cop was just bored. Like the cop who pulled me over because my "license plate light was out" and then searched my car. I got home and realized that my light WASN'T out.

 

Yea, I think its rediculous to pull someone over for just loud exhaust or tint...I could see if I was speeding or driving recklessly and reduce it to one of those, but strictly loud exhaust or tint is stupid and a jacka** cop IMO

 

I've got 5%

 

Are you gonna take it to court? If he gave you a ticket for your exhaust then I would take it in front of a judge and make them prove that it was too loud. They can't just go by it "sounding too loud" or your tint "looking too dark" They have decibel meters and tint meters for a reason. Next time make him pull them out before he writes you a ticket.
