obstruction of view?, got a ticket right after i got a ticket. Options

[easternpiro1]

one day after i get a ticket for doing 51 in a 35 on a deserted road, i decide to take my celi for a weekly spin, and meet up with some friends. as we are leaving, an officer pulls behind me and flashes me. asks for the usual info and says that he's writing me up for obstruction of view. I ask where and he says the vinyl on my back window and the items hanging from my rear view.... he gives me the ticket and says remove it, and then sits there and waits for me to take the animal down, so im like do you want me to take the vinyl off too?

Im confused, i can understand my stuffed animal from my rear view, and MAYBE the sticker on my back window... but he never said anything about my tint? i better count my blessings then i guess.

my buddy got two tickets... one for having his car too low and one for a spoiler too big... it was a stock evo he even told the cop that everything on his car is DOT approved and the cop has no right writing him a ticket for them... but he did it anyways to waste his time... some cops just like to be jerks

I remember a few years back a guy who got done for his car being too loud, but his car was a standard STI Impreza with the PPP (Prodrive performance pack) which can be bought from the Subaru dealers. He contested it in court and even got Prodrive legal team to appear in court and justify his case that everything was above board. The ticket was quashed and never heard of again. Can't remember what compensation was paid out but it was a substancial amount.
