Pleeeaaasssse. I got pulled over there too. Pay the 60 bucks and move on. You know that NYC want every nickel and dime out of your a$$. You live around there? You should know better. If the red light camera didn't get you, of course the police point check before the GCP will. Be happy they didn't ticketed you for each window.

WOW! I'd LOVE to live in NY... Over $200 here in cali! $180 the last time I got one (4 years ago) my bud just got one and I'm pretty certain its $280 here count your blessing folx! And in Cali, its at the discretion of the officer to make it a fix-it ticket or not. and each time you get pulled over for the same violation, it goes up...

One thing I've heard is that five oh usually wont mess with 50% and above cause you can clearly see through, however anything below 35% is very dark (looks sick though) and well you get effed with.

Around here, they wont pull you over for 50+ however as said above, if pulled over for something else, they will add the tint. Then with 35% or below, they will pull you over for that alone.

Next time go a little lighter? Try 35% or 50%.

If you got 5 or 20% on your windows and are complaining about a ticket, you deserve a .

So true!
They made me roll up my windows when I went to get my ticket signed off
I have stock tints & the guys was all like "I'm not signing it off till you roll up your front windows"
I was like "I didn't get a ticket for tints"
He didn't care! Cali cops are A-Holes!

What was your ticket for? If it wasnt for the tint, then theres no reason to tell you to roll them up. I would go to a different cop.

I would agree with D-Boi. They are people such as(My dad). My guess is just to roll your windows down and knock on wood.

amazing how some people NEVER seem to think this way and its the truth

funny when someone steals his car or robs his house how quickly he forgets how much he hates police as he calls them for helps, dont see you calling them names then......

I understand OP's frustration, heck ive been there before, but you gotta love and respect your local LE officers. Go to your local PD for a ride along one day and see what they deal with on a daily basis. CAUTION(if you live in detroit however do not attempt to do this its extremely hazardous to your health). Anyways ive encountered alot of poopy cops in my life but 98 percent of them have been cool. That 2 percent didnt stop me from getting in the same field hell it motivated me to get a job and be better than that. I wont disagree with the fact that there is some A-holes out there just as there are taxi drivers, nurses,doctors,politicians,strippers, roofers,santa clause, but LE officers are just doing their job.

They MADE you roll UP you WINDOWS? Why did they pull you over in the first place? Just to inspect your windows??
