I would understand getting an attorney if the cop ticketed you doing 90 at a 55.. but tickets for tints is more about annoyance.. I remember one cop said to me a few years back..(this same cop ticketed me for tints 2 times prior).. He said "Next time I see u with tints, I will take away your car." I constitute that as a threat, he was looking at me like I just did 100mph in a one way street.. Only this cop really pissed me off... I don't know if a cop can legally take away your car because of your tints...
People told me you can go to court and say this cop has been harrassing you by singling you out for tickets... but the thing is, I am technically breaking the law so he can give me as many times as he wants to.. so there is nothing we can really do , only to hope the PBA card will come through for us.

Yeah, for a tint ticket I honestly don't believe its worth it for attorneys fees. A tint violation is an equipment violation and I haven't seen any insurance company ever touch someones rates for equipment violations really. Tint tickets are only $55 I think in NY.
You can't impound someones car for tinted windows. Next time someone threatens you with that, just say to him, "have the patrol supervisor respond and let's see if he agrees." Guaranteed he will cut you loose.
You can make a harassment case against individual cops but you need to get an attorney to do it and involve the Internal Affairs Bureau of the department that the officer works for.
What department was the guy who said he wanted to take your car for tints working for? NYPD? The patrol guide doesn't allow an impound under that circumstance.

It was the 68pct.. Yeah he is NYPD, I am not making judgement on him but when u see him, u know he is crooked/racist. I was thinking of calling CCRB... but how much pull does that have? I know you get a complaint on the cop's record, but wouldn't that just **** him off even more and then he will tell his cop buddies to be on the lookout for me then?

The thing about CCRB's is even if they are marked "unfounded," it still remains on the officer's record and he has to explain it if he wants to go anywhere else on the job. Like if you want to go into Highway or ESU, or a detective squad you meet with a boss who looks at your file and asks about every complaint.
The New York City Police department is guided by something called the Patrol Guide, or PG for short. It is thousands of pages. One such section is that you must be courteous at all times to civilians. That includes not threatening people obviously. Violations of the patrol guide can result in loss of vacation days, a command discipline, etc.
Because of the damage a CCRB can do, I would honestly let it go right now unless the guy starts in again with you. You have a legit PBA card and he's still not showing you any respect?

yep, he still gave me the tickets.. I showed him PBA cards from 1998-present (like 5) and he still gave me tickets.. I think he wanted to "flex" his power

Patrolmen (not state troopers, just local municipal cops) in northern NJ *START* at about $60k per year.
Anyone know if police can issue you a ticket for tints if you have an out-of-state plate? For example, can you get pulled over for tints and issued a citation if your car has North Carolina plates?
Thanks,
-Brian.

For out of state registrations, the NYS Vehicle & Traffic Law equipment section (375), with respect to tints, does not apply. It's the same rationale that some states do not require front plates be displayed, and NY does, and obviously you do not have to display your front plate if driving in NY if you are from out of state.

You couldn't speak to your friend/relative on the job about this officer?

The problem was he had just lost his wife to cancer and it wasn't the proper time to ask him to do me this favor and contact this officer..
Also, I was always confused about something.. Cops get a certain # of PBA cards .. I see some people with a small shield with the cop's badge # on it, how many of those do cops get?
