I got cited for tint window today on the way to work.. the police was jsut being anal, he came up from behind with his bike, then flashed his lights to pull me over, ( somehow he could see my front side windows form the back already) real tough cop he was, probly thinking hes saving the world by citing me, usually the cops u run into are either real cool n friendly or real hardcore thinking they are Rambos, unfortunally i ran into an Rambo today, he even ask me how old i was, cuz i look pretty young and he was doubting that i could afford a nice car, while i wonder why dont he just read my fucking driver licience that hes holding up.....

By the way my car got broke in last week lol, with my walllet and cellphoen stolen, the police took finger prints off my car, they haven't even caught the outlaws, they are citing model citizens like me already , isn't hat ironic? makes me wanna sotp paying my taxes..

anyone got any good suggestions of dealing with a fix ticket? cuz this is the first time i got cited for tint window .. so if anyone got any good expricence would be helpful thank you...

[cooldude]

i got a fix ticket too but for change of address, no clue how to deal with it.
just leaving it there

[normtrum]

What % tint do you have? Also...what is the limit in CA?

EDIT: just saw on your sig you have 15%. I take it that's below CA State law?

[batchelorc]

15% is pretty dark. I'm assuming you knew the laws before you tinted. Looks like you gambled and lost?

[Andrew@ET]

find a car like yours and take a pic what i did

[simpleE92]

ca 70 percent is legal lol take off ur tint and get it signed off and as the chnage of address go get it done at dmv andf they will give a lil peice of paper with temp change of add and then u go get ur ticket signed off. any questions pm me lol

In CA..you can't have tinted windows in the front at all. And it's whatever you want in the rear windows and rear windshield.


OP......you have 2 choices...1. pay the $10 or whatever fix it ticket and remove the tint. Or 2. just pay the higher designated fee, usually around $100-200, and leave the tint on. The con to this method is that they can keep busting you over and over again, and the price keeps rising up.

some asswipe "officer" of the ones that walk around checking if you payed for parking on the street GAVE ME A DAMN TICKET for not having a front license plate. I payed for parking n all my shit was legit, so he didn't find anything REAL to cite my beautiful car... I wasn't there n the sack-of-shit left it on my window... not even a Fix-It.. just straight up ticket.. yeah it was only $35 but still, wat the hell! He probably thought he was Rambo after doin that

[nhhiep]

dude. you scared me already. I just tinted last weekend. 5% back, 20% front, 70% front glass(after seeing the result, I should have done 50). I know the law here in AZ is 35% front, no limit on the back. but I am gambling here and I know if worse case. I just pay the ticket and leave the tint on.

[g8ordoc]

This may be a repost. Get a prescription from a doctor for senstivity to intense sunlight...I believe its called photo dermatitis. Then you are permitted to have illegal tint.

[Sam12345]

doctors note...

[fermion]

find a member that has a car that's the same as yours, swap plates for a day and get a officer to sign off on it.

[cbad335]

Bummer you got a ticket. 15% is pretty dark though. I went w/ 35% all around just because darker tint makes cornering at night difficult, and I hate that.

[a burrito]

yeah 15% is pretty dark and you can't complain that he caught you for something you did illegal.. just take it off and get it signed off. no need to get mad at the world

No one cares in AZ, the police understand its hot and sunny and the tint is necessary. I never have an issue and most people I know havent either.

I have only known 1 person to get a ticket for having like 10% tint but he got written up from multiple items from strait pipes to having a license plate anti photo radar cover. But I can assure you he was and is still a jackass and I am sure he showed no respect to the cop. (he was originally pulled over for speeding)

Hey AndrewAZ, where did you get your tint done? My car should be here early july and was shopping around for some quality places. Plan on going 20% all the way around.

[FastLane]

Its your first ticket, pay the larger fine and be done.

Or if your feeling James Bond-ish, pay the cheap fine, leave em on, and if they catch you again after they'll just give another fix it ticket so

(If you wanna be a smart ass to the cop, tell him you perfer the privacy and keep the police report in your car of how someone broke in your car, tell em it happened twice!)

[omerfar23]

cops are all badge no brains. i mean he really doesn't have anything to do beside pulling people over for tint windows. jeez unless you live really exclusive area I am that cop can actually do something that might help the community.

Go with his advice.. Mine was done at the dealer.. I had them give me free mats and tint or I wouldn't buy the car..

My BMW E46 I had on order from Chapman BMW when I went to pick it up I was shocked to see it was tinted and I didnt even ask for it but my sales guy said he figured I would want it. Even did it 20%. Apparently if your in the BMW car club its something they give to you as a perk... (probably some BS but I dont complain)
