Window Tint Ticket

So I have a couple of questions that I'm hoping some of you with prior experiences can answer:

1. How much is the fix-it ticket if I have the tint removed?

2. How much is the full fine if I choose not to get my ticket removed?

3. Do I have to show up to court on the date indicated on the ticket regardless if I pay the fine in full or get the tint fixed?

4. If I don't get the tint removed and pay the full fine, will I continue to get tickets sent to me every month until I do fix it since they'll have me in their records as not getting the tint removed and paying the full fine?



Any input would help, thanks!

1. Fine is on the ticket (was $50 when I had my tint. I think it's $150 now in Cali)

2. I'm not sure that's an option

3. No, you only show up to court if you want to contest the ticket

4. If you can get the ticket signed off somehow and still have your tint, you will continue to get pulled over.
