Couldn't belive it!, Can you belive this? Options

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...

Eye to eye communication my arse. If other drivers actually paid attention to me they would see me swearing off and showing all kinds of hand signals. Come to think of it tint or no tint I have not changed my outbursts of anger on stupid drivers.

Here is the moral question. Why is the tint illegal? Why is it legal for cops and not legal for other drivers? Why does a cop who is pulling me over for tint issuing me a ticket for tint when he is himself sitting there in the dark? As far as I am concerned if cops want us to obey the laws... they need to set an example by doing things like ohh I dont know driving and not talking on the cellphone or driving and not eating at the same time or driving without windows tint unless they are a presidential convoy.
