so i was on my way back from a clients site and i pull into my parking lot and got pulled over. i knew it was going to happen, he had been following me for a while. he gets out and says: "im pulling you over for your tint". illegal? he cant pull me over JUST for tint, right? i wasnt doing anything else wrong. but he said "im pulling you over for your tint".

anyways, he was like..are you going to get it taken off? i was like yeah. and hes like, then i will only give you a warning, and if i dont get it off within 5 days, and send back my warning card, then i will get a $112.50 fine.

F THEM! i wouldnt take my tint off if he watched me.

 

Dude,
I got pulled over "just for tint" by a fn auxillary CT State police officer. A wanna-be or retired guy. Anyway, he picks like the most dangerous section of the interstate to pull me over with no shoulders. I had to pull over on the triangle of painted lines for an entrance ramp. Anyway, long story short, I got a $173.00 fine. I went to court and spoke to the ADA . I had a 100% clean driving record forever ( and still do). I told the ADA that I understood the law and why it exists BUT I told him that #1 the day i pulled over for speeding or other bs and #2 I don't have the window cranked down before the officer arrives then give me a ticket for TINT. I also expressed myself regarding the miles of blacked out windows on a chevy suburban for instance. They worry about what could be going on inside the vehicle when they are approaching. I understand that. But as long as the drivers window is legal, the officer would still have to pass by 10-12 feet of tinted glass to get to the clear pane. I told the ADA that when you require all Caravans and mini-vans and SUVs to remove their tint, I will too.

BTW, the tint stayed and I payed DICK!!!( My current ride has 5% and 8% all the way around.)

SMOKEM

 

Yah....Im 3%. Im completely Illegal in AZ. Its HOT here.

 

I have 20% all around and I got pulled over for speeding on the highway.. on top of doing almost 15mph over, I had a license with an out of date address (i moved like 1 yr prior to this, and never updated my license), and he brought up the tints.. He walked away and came back with a ticket for the tints and that was it.. Said, just plead guilty and pay the fine, basically, so I did.. and it was only $60. I was waiting for the fine to be in the 100-200 range, but the actual fine was only $25 with $35 surcharge fees.. I totally agree with you Smokem.. that's why I will refuse to take my tints off if I'm ever asked.

 

Here you wont pass inspection with tint......I get my car inspection done at a shop, because I dont have a cat converter, even they wont pass it with tint......So I can pollute like crazy, but no tint? I just use a razor to scrape it off, then re apply it the next day.

 

I was pulled over for speeding and the cop gave me a warning for my tint and exhaust. I guess in michigan you cant have any tint or a aftermarket exhaust. Well he told me to get rid of my exhaust and tint. Yea......its still on my car and that was a year and a half ago.

 

I was pulled over about a month ago for tint and all the cop said was for me to peel if off when I got home and if he sees me again with it them i'm going to get a fine. My tint is still on and I havn't seen him since. (5%)

 

dark tint is illegal in most states. accept it.

i do.

 

I have yet to get pulled over for my tint but its just barely illegal like only 5% over the limit.

 

here no one gets pulled over for tint, i was with my buddy in his accord with %5 all around, he got picked up for speeding and the cop didnt even care about the tint, and he got pulled over in his old accord once for somthing dumb and again the cop didnt care (%20) its great, but oddly the window tint shops will do up to %20 but they will only do the windshield strip up to the legal length unless you straight up tell them that you dont care if its legal or not.
