Default Police Ticket in Vancouver B.C Advise

Just got pulled over today, luckily they only give me a warning ticket; however, now I must remove my front tint with in 30 days.

What will happen if I don't show up with in 30 days to one of their departments to show them that i had my tint removed?

sorry bro but gotta pay to play. we all know front window tint is illegal, and we all go get it done anyways. sometimes ur lucky, sometimes ur not. u got lucky with a warning. donno if the cop put a note on ur file about the tint. if he did then ull get notified.

if there's a note on your file (is, u got one of those i think they're blue 'something is wrong with your car' slips) if you don't get it removed stuff will get a lot worse for you in the future. it definitely sucks, but other than having it removed, presenting the car, and going for reinstal, there's no way to have tint for you now.

as for the plate ... my understanding is so long as it is on the front if your car it doesn't matter if its on the bumper or not (just can't be sitting loose on your dash or something like that)

it depends if they give you the ticket w. a $ amount or a fix-your-car slip

when i got it i had the fix-your-car slip (which apparently you can't ignore or contest)

If they made a note of it you have to have it removed within 30 days. If you dont and you are caught again they have have the car towed, plates removed and be given a VI which you'll have to all pay for

I know Cept no warning for me, just pulled me over took the plates and called a tow and issued VI. They said my car was too low and my wheels were not properly aligned (negative 4 degrees camber)
