Just Got A Ticket For Tinted Windows!
Aaargh! I can't believe it. I just got pulled over for my tinted windows. I have gotten many comments that my tints are too light and I get a ticket! Any NY cops out there wanna donate a PBA card to a fellow CL member?
BTW. I got pulled over on the east bound side of Hempstead Turnpike by Belmont Race track.

I got pulled over for my tints too on Long Island last night. I was driving along and a local cop switched lanes and stopped me at like 9 PM saying he couldn't see me. He copped an attitude with me off the bat, so he got it right back in his face twice as bad and I told him I didn't care for his department at all and told him it was BS to stop someone for 35% tint on their car. My uncle is a cop and I'm starting the police academy in a few months, so I didn't get a ticket but I think its so stupid to stop someone for tints if they're not violating any other traffic laws.
What dept was it that stopped you bro?

Yea actually the entire State of New York is 70% for the front two windows.
So, when you have like 35% tints like I have on my car, it's only letting 35% of the light in--but the windows don't transmit 100% to begin with. When the dickface officer got out of his RMP, he took a tint meter with him and showed me that my windows were 28%. He said they had to be 70% and I had to take it off. I told him no thanks and I didn't want to speak to him anymore.
I've had my tints since early January of this year and have not had one problem from anyone in any real police department. Unfortunately in my town we have a tiny little police department that harasses people and stops them for petty violations. It's a real collection of officers.
I have 3 PBA shields in my wallet, two of which are supervisor's shields and I have like 5 PBA cards. Why the guy continued his attitude with me is beyond me. I'm not going to take nonsense from those guys once I'm a cop.

since were on the subject of tints. i kinda scratched the tints on one of my windows when i was loading snowboards into my rear seats. so i need/want to get my 20% removed and get something darker. how much would a tint place charge to remove and retint? and does anyone know a spot in queens that they can refer me to? thanks guys
