Got owned by a judge. FKin' idiot

[StupidBikerBoy]

Couple months ago I got a tint ticket in my crew cab seirra for the BACK windows. I tried to tell the cop that it was legal to have any tint on the rear windows on trucks, but he still wrote the ticket. He tried to tell me that if it was factory or an SUV it would be legal. WTF?? FKin' idiot cop.

So I go online and look up the actual code. It states that a multipurpose passenger vehicle is only required to have less than 32% on the windows directly to the left or right of the driver. Then it defines a multipurpose passenger vehicle as a vehicle designed to carry 10 or less people that is built on a truck chassis or designed for off-road use. I WAS DRIVIN A GMC 1500HD CREW. Its a 3/4 ton truck!

So anyway, I went to court and plead not guilty so I had to go back and plead my case to the judge. I figured I would be in and out real fast. Nope.

After the officer shows the calibration on his machine the judge asked me why I wasn't guilty. So I told him that it was legal for trucks to have any darkness tint in the rear doors and back glass. He just looked at me puzzled, so I pulled a copy of the actual code out of my folder and read him the parts that pertained to me.

He then tells me that law was meant for vans. VANS!! I said that it plainly states ANYTHING ON A TRUCK CHASSIS. He said that it didn't say anything about "pickup" trucks. I was like WTF?? I couldnt believe this asshat. So I said, You're telling me that my 3/4 ton truck is not built on a truck chassis?? He said "yep, and I'm finding you guilty". Then he slaps an additional $50 charge on it for "court costs".

WTF??

Its not over though. I went ahead and paid the fine, but I have spoken with the DA, and the post commander of the state patrol that wrote me the ticket. If they don't do something about it I'll go higher. For the past 15 years I been harrassed because my rides and Im tired of it. This might be a small charge, but Im taking it as far as I need to.
