How long will you be here? What part of CA? As long as you don't stick out like a sore thumb (have an extreme body kit, drive like an @$$, etc.), then you shouldn't have any trouble. Most cops won't pull you over just for tint, unless they are in a p!ssy mood or something.[/QUOTE]

Ha well for at least a year right now. im moving out there for college but all my stuff is going to stay registered for texas so there is no way anyone could prove that i wasnt living there. Dishonest i know but if its gonna save me 300 bucks worth of tint it seems kinda worth it

 

what part of CA?

 

LA area

 

honestly bro, don't even worry about it, 75% of people in cali have tint on the front windows, if a cop is gonna pull someone over for tint, they have more than enough californians to hand tickets out to, i don't think they would waste their time with someone from out of state. Unless you did something else to get pulled over, then he might just tack that on for the *** of it.

 

So did any cops chime in on this one???

 

Same here. 2 years and counting

*Knock on wood*

 

Yea ur right plus what else am i going to do its not like i would take it off before i got into trouble so nothings going to change. I just always thought cops would mess with people just cause of their tint but i guess not. I'll let you guys know if i ever do get pulled over

 

Like the others said, first - don't give them a reason to pull you over. Second, if you are pulled over, kiss azz and try real hard to sound remorseful. Third, don't be a d!ck or they will really teach you a lesson.

Remember - they can ticket you for ANYTHING they feel like, possibly impound your car depending on the mods. I mean ANYTHING. Once you are pulled over, the outcome is entirely up to you. They can even give you a fix it ticket for a stock car. The idea is for YOU to take the time to deal with the mix-up in court.

Yes, I'm related to a cop.

on the money here.
I have been told by cops that the only issue they have with tint is when they pull someone over and can not see into the vehicle.
Advice I have gotten and has worked for not getting a ticket is to roll your windows down and turn on your cabin lights, especially at night. Cooperation in making their job easier/safer goes a long way in the long run.

 

Why waste my time when the answer's already there. Unless you're willing to give me a hot dog.

 

This is why the OP posted in the Socal section. You're from MD and unless you're familiar with the CA vehicle codes, you really shouldn't be speaking for us.

 

should i say something or everyone is going to ask for proof?

 

Speaking of cops and tint...^^^sign my ticket off.

I got one in SD a couple weeks ago.

 

Cars from Armenia don't count.

 

but.... but why
