It also states that in order to determine if window has tint on it or no a DEVICE needs to be used.

I have not heard of any devices being installed into cops eyes yet.

So his word against the LAW.

cop fvcked up and did not use anything to determine the tint.

 

Wow...never heard you need a "Device" to determine if window is tinted. I'll have to request my department to get one of these.

 

you do that.


I'm mot talking out of my a$$ here man.

I have been there and done it

I'm guessing you're not from California. Equipment laws differ slightly in other states. As far as devices go, it's not necessary.

DUDE! i go to UCI!!! i JUST got a tint ticket like on saturday, got it signed off and everything at a courthouse nearby, was pissed off about it I MIGHT have seen your car before, i saw a coupe with the same color as yours parked at the social science parking structure maybe 2-3 days ago with kenstyle rear, so i stopped and admired, then ppl started honking so i kept moving lol, was that you?! nice car anyway!
but definately lets get together for a shoot! AND I HATE IRVINE popos, they pull you over for the most ridiculous things. one time they pulled me over and told me to open the hood -_- luckily i didn't have much hehe, but theyre annoying!

Jokr, your link doesn't indicate the required use of a device. Anyways, this is beating a dead horse. Its inevitable cops are going to continue to stop anyone with tinted windows regardless of shade level. If you get cited, yet your window tint meets the legal requirments, then you can start getting into the technicalities and try to fight it. Sometimes its just worth paying the fine rather than go through the trouble of fighting it. Just my .02 cents.

 

Here is some more info for OP on ticket fighting in CALI

it states legal %s
can you determine them with a necked eye?

 

good info useful link ^

 

All you need is approximation and articulation by the officer to deem why the driver is in violation for unlawful window tint. You don't need a device. Anyways i'm done.

By the way, good info on fighting tickets and its process, however it does not mean you'll win.

 

I cant say its required because (knock on wood) i havent gotten hit for it. However, "real" cops will have devices to measure the tint levelsand those I have seen used before. I cant say the following is one of them but they sre out there

As fo fighting it ... hell yeah. Technicalities are the soul of the law

 

I got caught with one of this suckers.

And still got away with it.

 

Its $25......I say pay it and call it a day.
For you to Take the day off - Drive to the court - wait to see the judge.
Basically waste a day, is more than $25 worth, at least to me.

Yeah I know its the priciple....but for $25 - the MAN can have the principle.

 

Yeah I'll roll by.
This will be my 1st meet.
