DaJoker SS Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 Got pulled over yesterady because my windows were too dark. The cop brought the machine out and checked the windows and they were 2%. He said i got to get at least 28%. He let me go with 2 tickets, one for the windows, and one for diving with a permit. The tickets had no price to pay on the back does that mean i dont have to pay anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolBlueSS Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 No. Call the number on the ticket. They should be able to tell you the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterp Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 Sorry dude, no that's not how it works. It's a good thing your insurance and tags were current, or you'd be SUNK. My suggestion, minimize the amount of fines as follows: get the tint removed or replaced, and if possible take the truck and see if you can have an officer of the law sign on the citation that the 'equipment offense' has been corrected. Second, get your license NOW. Do not pass Go, do not collect $200. Day of court - you need to stand out against all the other loosers waiting their turn in the courtroom - DRESS AS YOU WOULD FOR A JOB INTERVIEW. Wear your best shoes, if you don't have any get some. During your appearance, explain to the judge that you bought the truck used and already limo tinted and that you did not know it was a violation, but got it corrected asap. Then when asked about your permit show the judge your new license and tell him that you have been working both full-time at school and an after school job thus getting time off has been a legitimate hardship, but since the citation you've put your foot down and gotten the issue corrected. Use only ONE sentence per explaination with the judge, it's all he needs. If you want to add, just mention that you are truly sorry for wasting the courts time, it was never your intention to be irresposible in these matters. Oh, body language counts - do not put your hands in your pockets, fidget, etc. If you can do this with a little "responsible charm" and you look a winner and a person that takes care of his business you will *probably* get out of there with minimal fines on both issues. I would even bet chances are 50/50 that he will let you off with just a 'stupidity fine' (say, $50) or let you go with just a warning. Free advice - take it for what it's worth. Mr. P.

SS Silv Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 Wow, I would love to have atleast 35% tint. The legal limit for tint in ND is 50%. I got pulled over 2 months ago because the cop thought my tint was darker the 50%, which it isnt, so he got out his stupid "tint detector" as he called it, and it showed up to be 46% because of the factory tint that is already on the vehicle. So the dick gived me a 50$ ticket. That shows you how lame the cops are in ND. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fox_forma Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 the cops always made me rip the tint off right on the spot with them, plus they would fine me ass, i always fought it and won somehow but what a waste of time. Good Luck man and misterp gave some good advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianz Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 I'd rather be pulled over for speeding ... so I went a different route with my SS. I used a product called Vcool 70 for the front doors and Vcool 35 for the sun roof and the back 3. http://www.v-kool-usa.com/ I also run without a front plate so I didnt need the extra attention dark tint gets anyways ... but I prefer a dark tint ... adios Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
