well i got a tint ticket in GC some time back. i guess it was low on quota or something because he just finished w/ another guy (tint ticket) and he caught up w/ me at the light. i even had my windows down and he asked me to roll them up so he can check w/ the meter. pulled the tint off and had the 5th precient guys look at it and they signed off on it. the comment they made when they looked at it...."i guess those guys in GC have nothing else better to do"

You have to make him feel comfortable to approach you.
In cases like this, after they ticket you even with a card, they usually ask your friend on the force to contact them the next day before they put the ticket into processing. I think that's how it worked unless it's different now.

Thats kind of gay to chase you to a light just to grab you for tints. As I said in a previous post, my uncle is a Nassau cop and he never stops cars for tint. I guess the guy wanted some activitiy.

IS300ED, my friend's father is a retired cop and he told me if a cop ever disrespects u in any kind of way is to tell him "let me speak to your patrol supervisor".. He said by saying this, it usually calms them down...

The guy went off on a tirade, delivering a sermon to me and since I wasn't being arrested, I didn't have to take it and let him know so. I must have told him three or four times to get the supervisor, and he only stopped when I took my Nextel out and told him I was going to have the Nassau County Police respond.
That particular officer hasn't bothered me since.

This is some great info. I never knew about the "let me speak to your patrol supervisor". I've always been the one to just shut up and take the crap that most cops throw at me because hey, I don't need any more tickets.

Fight every ticket you get if you can't get out of it! There's a federal investigation pending on the extremely high amount of traffic convictions in urban area's, NYC being one of them! Now, to try to cover there asses, they are tossing most of them. or cutting the amount and dismissing the points

As for convictions, New York City and Suffolk has something called AAB or TVB. It is run by DMV and generally speaking, you will be convicted unless you have an attorney who knows how to jump down someones throat and twist their words around. Conviction rates in NYS DMV courts are very high and plea bargaining generally isn't allowed.
This is the first time I am hearing of a federal investigation because of a "lot of convictions."

The car had rims, non chrome and it was clean and waxed. I was on the fdr on my way to the gwb to sell the car in jerzee where there was a spot check wen i got off the exit after i made a wrong turn. So im sitting there and Im sayin to mahself watch they pull me over. And they did, mind you my car is registered in ga since i go to school there but i have a ny liscene. So of course they give me a ticket which im fighting and they keep pushing the court date back so whatever! However.... i see the new range with tint darker than mine with a bunch of buisness men in it (white) im a 20yo black guy. Then i see a new s500 with tint drive by and im pissed cuz they let them go but stop me for a ticket. My mom bf car got tint n they aint stop him n they was following me! what kinda mess is this nypd... i should sue and have nyc pay the rest of mah damn tuition. my heart jumps and races and i get paniky wen i hear sirens and the infamous "whop whop" of the police car.

As for making a racial profiling case, good luck. It'll be your word against theirs. I'm not saying you're wrong or it doesn't happen, but it's very hard to prove.

yep the car had ga plates with everything in order. I was on my way to selling the car that day. I probally wont make a racial profiling case but i feel that its really messed up when people that may have or look like they have money can bypass the police but people like me especially a young col student gets harrased. it happened in sept 04 and i had a date for court for march then i got a letter saying its pushed back to april and i just got one more sayin its in june so i dont know whats going on. Now i have a sc but i havent driven it yet i want to see what happens to me wen i come back to ny after school.

As for this ticket, if you point out that the car had Georgia registration, then you'll be fine since each state regulates equipment (front plates, tints, etc.) in its respective vehicle laws.
