I was cruising gently on my way home from school today. Suddenly I saw this cop car(UCI Police) abruptly made an U-turn after he drove past me. He followed me for about 500 yards then he pulled me over. As "predictable" as it is, he gave me a ticket for tinting the front windows . Here comes the n00b question. How much is the fix-it ticket gonna cost me? Should I try to fight it off? Would it make a difference? What would happen if i repeatedly caught with tinted front windows?



THIS IS HOW DARK IT IS WITH THE WINDOWS UP! I have these tints for almost four years ( have this car since high school) and i never had problem with tint. it's like every 1 out 5 or 6 cars in this area have their front windows tinted.. and he just have to pick on kids like me

thanks for any input guy! sorry about the rant

 

all fixed tickets will cost you $10 to the clerk of court and when you get it signed off the police will charge you $15. So you are looking at $25 to get it written off....

you coming to the 714 meet tomorrow at super autobac?

 

if i were you i would fight the ticket just for the fact that your windows are BARELY tinted, i think you could get away with legal tint. because everything is visible.

 

There's a meet tomorrow?
Time?

You should just roll down your windows when driving next to the police.

 

this tickets are soooooooooooo easy to fight.

 

thanks for the info

really?! i gotta check it out since i never been to meets before (lol)

 

does the vehicle code stated how many % tints are allowed? or it's like no tint at all?

 

it's not about if you had tint or no.

It's if cop can prove it or not.


how did he determine if you had a ting on the windshield?

 

you have a very good point.. but then the thing is.. i have these tints for a long time and so i lost that habit already.. and then there are LUMPS of cop around UCI my window motors are gonna thank me big times for quick retirement

 

UCI police are super bored and strict.
One time I parked there waiting to pick up my friend,
Ran to the restroom for a couple of minutes.
Came back and there was a ticket on my windshield.

 

LOL.... I go to UCI a lot, too... just for studying. LOL

Since my car has a AZ plate, cops don't really bother pulling me over. LOL

 

i think i was driving toward the east because my a$$ was facing the sun so the tints look darker then it actually it...

 

i know!! 52 bucks for no reason

DO some of you guys go to UCI? or happens to near UCI? we should get together for a SHOOT!

 

Live in anaheim, Work in Irvine.
I'm down to meet up.
My car doesn't have much tho.

 

so he did not use any devices or anything else to determine the tint?

Did you admit or tell him that you have tint?
