I am all about a good revolution

I am pretty hard-core against the government being in my life at more than they were originally set up to be, and I absolutely can't stand them dictating what I do in my private life or in my private property. HOWEVER, after discussing seat belt laws/tint laws with some of my like-minded (and a few years older, so a bit wiser when it comes to most things) friends a couple of weeks ago a very valid point was brought up: While our cars are our private property, we received the privilege to obtain a drivers license by agreeing to adhere to state and federal driving laws. So, therefore as much as I hate the fact that they tell me I can only have xx% tint, and if I don't wear my seat belt it's a $130 ticket - I have to be OK with it to a point, because I agreed that in exchange for the privilege to have a drivers license I would STFU and deal with the laws surrounding that little picture card I carry in my wallet.

I have gotten pulled over 3 times for my tint so far, and have not yet gotten a ticket ... I know my time is limited, but I am waiting for it and I will accept it when it happens. I have some good connections though, so I might be able to get away with it for a bit longer than the average Joe.
