F'ing Lackawanna Police!

No I was going to check how dark his tint was with it :retard:

jesus why?

what a total asshole

It sucks that he left you in the rain, especially at night in that area, but dude…

  1. Illegal right on red.
  2. No inspection.
  3. Illegal tint.

Cops tend to be dicks when they find multiple violations, all of which were very easy for the driver to avoid.

And no, you can’t tint your side windows behind the driver. Right from the APD site.

According to the NY State Vehicle and Traffic Law under section 375-12, if you have a 1992 or later model year passenger car or station wagon, the side windows adjacent to AND behind the operators seat must have a light transmittance of SEVENTY PERCENT or greater.

my car is a 1990

Come to think of it I got pulled over by Nazi kenmore cops with a sticker expired 1 month and they let me go. Towing your car is insane, he must of not liked you

thats shitty i got a ticket a month a go and btw paying car ins an my tuition monthly i could barely afford the ticket sorry it worked out so shitty for ya

also, it says I have to do return the tickets and send them priority mail? is that common practice?

I just checked, Amherst needs to update their site. The actual law only refers to 1992 as a manufactures cutoff date. Meaning that manufactures were only allowed to produce cars that didn’t follow the law prior to 1992. You having aftermarket tint = illegal.

The actual text:

(b) No person shall operate any motor vehicle upon any public highway,
road or street:
(1) the front windshield of which is composed of, covered by or
treated with any material which has a light transmittance of less than
seventy percent unless such materials are limited to the uppermost six
inches of the windshield; or
(2) the sidewings or side windows of which on either side forward of
or adjacent to the operator’s seat are composed of, covered by or
treated with any material which has a light transmittance of less than
seventy percent; or
(3) if it is classified as a station wagon, sedan, hardtop, coupe,
hatchback or convertible and any rear side window has a light
transmittance of less than seventy percent; or
(4) the rear window of which is composed of, covered by or treated
with any material which has a light transmittance of less than seventy
percent. A rear window may have a light transmittance of less than
seventy percent if the vehicle is equipped with side mirrors on both
sides of the vehicle so adjusted that the driver thereof shall have a
clear and full view of the road and condition of traffic behind such
vehicle.

My last one in Hamburg said that. I sent it regular mail and it got there just fine.

I’m speachless that they’d dick you around that bad

did they give u a ticket? id fight it, id say u got mugged or some shit cuz they left u down there and fight the ticket and the towing

Thats really shitty.

My summer car the tbird, i’ve gotten pulled over with that thing five months overdue, usually a temp sticker on it.

The cop just said ‘get it taken care of’, and never wrote me a warning or anything.

Why did they tow the car? Christ I thought if you had insurance and registration you were good.
