Cops will pull over the person that is speeding “faster” than the other cars. Correct. I’ve been told by a few family friends that are Troopers/CPD/ACDS and they say if you are with a bunch of traffic moving at a certain pace, they won’t bother. But if you’re the person doing 80-85 while everyone else is doing 70-75 on the highway, you’re getting nabbed. ---

it says somthing along the lines of “as confirmed with superior officer” for the tint. Maybe I’ll get lucky and it will get thrown out and I’ll save a few $$. ---

Don’t wait for the judge. I would be calling traffic court and talking to him right now and asking for it to be dismissed. I’ve had tickets handled outside of the court as they realized it’s a waste of time and/or would save them money. ---
