ok so funny story (for you guys atleast)…I’m on my way to a dentist appt this morning and the office is right across from Gearhead. I turn from Old State road onto 155 and as soon as I cross the colonie border I get waved into a parking by two officers. This is the lot with the trucks in it on the right right before the bridge. He tells me that I have illegal front tints and no front plate and to go wait in the line of cars allready there getting ticketed. The cop was actually nice (aside from pulling me over while I was going speedlimit but w.e) Long story short I got a tint ticket. Question, if he doesnt test the tint with the meter can I still get a ticket? Otherwise I’m just gona pay their b.s fine and get over it. ---

It’s a losing battle IMO. Your car is obviously illegal with any tint on the front windows that looks semi-dark. I have debating selling one of my cars for this reason…:ponder ---

I figured this much, oh well not the first time I’ve gotten a tint ticket and probably not the last. ---

Usually they are fine as long as you arent speeding but I guess they really want their $$$$ The economy is bad, and departments are in need of funding for officer overtime, new recruits, equipment etc. I understand why they are doing it. Be thankfull you dont live in CA, its 10x worse. Although its very depressing thinking that everytime you take your car out, you can get nailed in $350 dollars in fines. Yea, I could fix the things wrong… but I dont have the heart to drill into my front bumper, and stock exhaust choking FTL. ☹ ---
