Window Tint Ticket

[nickhjort]

Well I would understand not complaining if I had LIMO BLACK or some shiit that made it very hard to see out, but I bought the car in Florida and it came with the LEGAL LIMIT there. I'm not just being a deuchbag bitching about cops and stuff. Obviously if I was I would have opened with "FUKCING COPS or PIGS or whatever. I am complaining about the PRICE. $105 for some tint that's at the legal limit in most states. That seems a little ridiculous to me. I was expecting maybe $40 or $50 tops, but when they charge me $50 in fines and then another $55 (court charge) for some guy to open an envelope, say "OK, $50 fine for tinting", and then mail it back to me...that's what's bullshiit!! And I can agree with that skin cancer stuff. Now that I took it off, my arms are burning whenever the sun hits 'em. That's why the limits are higher in sunnier states I guess, but unless you're an idiot you realize we have the same sun in every state. I dunno It's just annoying.

When I bought my last car, it was used and had tint on the rear window and the rear door glass. I rode around with it and never had a problem. Also when I purchased it I had to take it to the police dept so they could check the vin. They never mentioned anything about it being illegal. So when it came time to be inspected, the inspection station refused to pass it for the tint and also the tinted plate covers. Best part was, as this is being explained to me, a state trooper drives in with the governor's vehicle. It was a Ford Explorer with full limo tint in the back, and lighter tint on front door glass. Talk about ironic. Cost me 150.00 to get tint removed so car would pass.


I feel your pain!

I feel your pain. I had to remove my tints as well. However, if you purchased a car in a different state and move to another, you must comply with their vehicle codes. Sucks big time, but that's how it goes. As for me, I just purchased two of those shades that are suction applied onto the window. Yeah, it looks tacky, but my arms are thanking me. hahahahaha.
