WantaSSS Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 Hey all- I just received a ticket for my window tint. It registered at 14 percent according to his meter. In minnesota I know the law is 50 percent on fronts for trucks and the back can be whatever you want. My question to you all is - Can a cop pull me over for just the tint alone? He said he pulled me over for the window tint . BTW the ticket is $135 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballincustoms Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 Yes its considered a moving violation and most cops will use the tint method to stop you and find other violations, I have learned to follow the tint regulations less hassle in the future and more money stays in my pocket.

Blown 346 Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 Agreed, Any cop can pull you over for tint as it is a life safety issue for them. Best bet is to take a pic of a vehicle like yours with no tint and bring it into court, they might drop it if they think you took the tint off.

JC03SS Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 Yeap correct. I've got my share of tinted window tickets. Prob 6 since I started driving. But I like tinted windows so I just pay it and go on. They like giving them easy money. People usually pay it and don't fight it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb2big4u Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 Got my fair share of tint violations also. Every car I've owned has always had 5% around and full windshield 30%. I hate riding in vehicles without tint. Can't pick my nose when I want. Kidding. Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MobbinSS Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 Sorry about that man. It's always a bitch when they get you for that. Trust me, I know. Just wait til you get 20 on the shield :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thing1 Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 (edited) That sucks bro, I got pulled over by a Highway Patrol once and the meter read 4% LOL. I'm in Tx where the law is 25%, lucky I got off with a warning... Edited June 8, 2013 by Thing1 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desrtrat Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 Best bet is to take a pic of a vehicle like yours with no tint and bring it into court, they might drop it if they think you took the tint off. here it's a fix-it ticket. you can have the ticket signed off AFTER repaired/fixed by a LEO, (CHP) but it will be inspected by them before they sign. best thing is just follow the law, and save your $$$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harbor_SS'n-it Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 I get mine signed off so it's not a big problem for me. But they can be a pain in the ass! Personally I would keep the tint for the looks if you don't mind going through the whole ticket and court thing every now and then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rheltemes Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 If you need a non tinted SS window for your photo let me know, live in NW suburbs so easy to meet up and help you try to get out of the ticket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had to take the truck down to a police station and have it inspected and signed off. Then I go home and retint. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"BEST BET" Wow, you really recommend someone commit the crime of Perjury for a equipment ticket???!!! I have been directed by the judge to go out into the parking lot and verify that the violation has in fact been corrected....Is it worth going to jail over??!!
