    I'm pretty sure he can't write you tickets over and over he just wanted to be an asswipe and did he use a meter to test your tint? If not get that shit thrown out.

    yeah, what BTEC said? My car isnt tinted, but I've always wondered how the cops determine your tint it too dark? Do they just look at it, and write up a ticket, or is there some guage they use? If they do actually test it, are there cases where they ASSUME its too dark, only to test it and find out that they're wrong?

    you can't write multiple tickets on the same violation until that ticket has been taken to court.

    And "lookin too dark" will get thrown out if you bring it to court.

    Exacry! They have a meter that tests the amount of light that passes through your windows. If he didn't use a tester then go to court it will get thrown out. They can't fine you on just an assumption.

    HAHA! Yeah well first off its a lexus...no such thing as maunal windows...haha! 2nd. No he didnt use a meter. 3rd. He walked around the car and told me that my exhaust is illegal, that my car sits too low..(L-tune lowering springs outta the factory) so fuck him! Also he said that If I get the tint removed before the court date and "can prove it" then they will throw it out. Oh yeah and I was across the street from my gf's house and when he asked where I was going, I pointed and said my gf's place...and he saw her tint which is 5% (mines 15%) on her Grey IS300..and he said "I better not see her leave ne time soon, cuz Ill write her a ticket as well..." Which really pissed me off....Ive gotten too many tickets down there so fuck that...but Im going back down on my court date and fighting it...I really thought it was funny that I came up as High Risk Violator considering Ive only had a few tickets....

    even if it gets thrown out look at the gas that you have to spend to get to court.
