Seeing as my dad is a cop here in Tennessee, and he told me that you can't do that to people who have out of state plates.
So, to conclude, what you say is , but feel free to show me some facts. |
I have PERSONALLY gotten pulled over for window tint in Indiana by a state trooper. He clearly stated that the initial stop was because of the tint. I said that the tint on driver and passenger windows is leagal in MO and he still made me remove the tint right there on the side of the highway. He had a light meter in his car and used it on both front side windows to record the amount of tint I had.
I wasn't speeding or being reckless at all before he got me. I was just doing the speed limit in the middle lane. He was in an black unmarked 1LE Camaro. This happened in 2002.
As far as I know most states officers (mostly state patrol) can and will do an initial stop for modified vehicles. You have to be carefull because a lifted, lowered/customized car/truck can attract alot of attention outside of the owner's hometown. I have gotten pulled over for a vehicle being too low, for being too tall, for having modified taillights, for dragging (airride), for show of horsepower (burnout), for having headlights too low (airride), for the rear plate not being permanently attached, for liscense plate lights being out, for excess stereo bass....all of these were out of my state of MO when I had a fully custom car being drivin to a show. I admit that some of them were self inflicted
, but some of them are just from picky cops that wanted to stop us. It's funny when a cop pulls over a car in a show caravan and 20 other cars/trucks pull over behind him.....
