Default tinted window tickets

I got two tinted windows tickets, the reader they used displayed one side @ 29% and the other at 31%. The cop told me each ticket is ten dollars, but I have a feeling he is lying. There is no price on the tickets either. Anyways, can I fight the ticket that says 29%?

Thanks!

nope he lied to you they are like $100 tickets each but you can get them dismissed if you just get a receipt from any body shop or tint shop and write down that you got a tint removal and write $50 for the tint removal ...go to court...show them a copy of the receipt and they will dismiss it i do it all the time

i didn't know you could get tickets for tint, out of your registered state.
what if it's legal in the state you are registered and just driving through?

i went with serge (uaaction) to court for his tint tickets. he got a ticket for tints in the rear window and in the front window. we had niloy (jdmaddict) take a pic of a gray is350 with no tints and photoshop his plates onto the car. the judge and officer fell for the picture dismissed the rear windows (since theyre legal) and reduced his tint ticket to 50 i believe with a $20 surcharge (for going to court)

I might need to do this in the future as both my gs and ls has 20% all around. Suck that you have to take a day off form work to go to court.
