after my math final i left school and made a late stop at a sign...when i looked up the cops were on the other side of the road...didn't seem they cared, so i drove off and they turned behind me...didn't think anything of it until i saw those Damn LIGHTS...rolled down my window and he told me to cross the intersection and pull into a parking lot. While he was taking my info he asked me if i could roll up my window because it looked a little to dark. The other cop came to my window and measured the tint. They found out that my tint is 3% and wrote me the ticket for my tint and passing the stop sign by a few feet... my total is $350... Then he tells me that legal window tint is anything Above 25%... Lastly he tells me that the main reason for the ticket was due to the tint, but they didn't want to stop me just because of that "we didn't want to be mean."
throughout the whole process i was calm about it and didn't over react since i decided to get the tint.
ive had my tint since the beginning of summer and this is the first time any authorities say anything about it...

3%? Geeze, can you even see out of that?

Here in CA, any tint is illegal so it absolutely drives me nuts to pull next to some guy with limo tint all around. Sometimes you really need to be able to make eye contact with the other driver just to make sure you are both on the same page (making a lane change, avoiding a road hazard, etc), and these idiots driving with the windows blacked out, seriously makes it harder for everyone else who's driving on the same roads. Not to mention it's AGAINST THE LAW part (again, in CA).

You know what? I never thought of it like that, the whole Eye to Eye communication. That is a real eye opener and I can totally agree with that now. I thought it was just so cops don't suspect anything retarded. But now that all makes sense.
