well in THEIR court… isnt this just equipment? you should be able to get it inspected by an inspections place (be better if it was a friend), and they sign the back of the ticket n shit and you just hand it in to an officer at the station and they drop the ticket ---

Windows aren’t even part of NYS inspection. How the hell they ticket you for that shit is beyond me. The back can be as dark as you want. You can paint the thing black for all anyone cares. That part of the ticket is BS. Only driver and passenger front windows are supposed to be 70% at min, meaning at least 70% of light passes through. The front plate is a fix it ticket, or at least thats what I was told. Just put on the front plate and go to the DA office to get it dropped? ---

The ONLY window that is allowed to be tinted in NYS is the rear window, provided you have two side mirrors. Every time I hear someone spouting off the wrong info, I want to punch a baby as well. I was told at Rainbow that tinting my rear side windows was legal, but it is not. And I get pulled over for it. Thanks.
