Default Tis the season for giving

In the spirit of the holidays, the CHP decided to give me a present. Seems like they are cracking down on front tints.

How dark are they? Did you see them AFTER they turned on their lights? Are you going to remove it or just pay the fine?

My friend always rolls his windows down if he sees a cop. Raining or not, them suckers are DOWN.

So lame. I've either been lucky, or East Bay cops just aren't as ****. Between my front tints, no front plate, and obnoxiously loud exhaust they have plenty to nail me for.

^ Yup. But my apartment is adjacent to BART so I use it to keep the miles low, when it's raining, end of the month when quotas need to be filled, etc.

wow, speaking of chp, one just blew by me on his bike today on the 110 freeway. I guess he couldn't wait to get his donut and coffee at the local 7/11.

My tints are very dark and so is my interior.

just a tip if u have darker tint infront ,just open your shade.. Not the glass sunroof but just the top slider that way sun light would get in. That is how i do it, never have any problem....

+1 I do this a lot, but still roll the windows down if I see a cop coming.
