Tint too dark

Well I knew it would happen eventually. Got pulled today for a tint violation. I guess 5% all around was a little to dark. Also got a ticket for blacked out taillights. All came to $500.

you may be able to fight the tail light ticket. The rules governing them are pretty loose. But either way that stinks. FIGHT THE POWER ha

I got a feeling no judge is going to dismiss the ticket on tinted tail lights.

That had to hurt! I was tempted do go dark but went legal instead. Looks like the right decision.

HOLY CRAP $500 ? It's been a few years since i've had a tint ticket but the last time if I remember correctly was around $50.00, I paid it and left the tint alone, never had anymore problems.

Yeah and then after they check to see if the tint is off you can put it back on.

The problem is that cops suck for the most part. This instance seems to be an example of a cop with nothing to do but write frivolous tickets. The cop was probably jealous of your car.
