I was driving down quaker road, by the aviation mall, last night with a few of my friends. We were just cruising when a cop warren county sheriff comes out of nowhere and pulls me over for my tail light tint. I was pretty irritated because i was under a mile from my friends place and all of our tail lights are tinted just as dark as mine. This was the third or fourth time I’ve been pulled over in the over a month since I tinted them darker and the first time I got a fix it ticket for the tails. It was around a 20-25 minute traffic stop for a fix it ticket. The cop even wrote out a statement of evidence against me ahahaha.

This guy must think hes a detective lol ---

3-4 times for the same offense… logic would say fix the issue, or keep getting stopped. if you choose the latter, dont complain about it. ---

with tailight tint, use common sense, if its black your not gonna see your lights very well and your gonna get pulled over. I know SSSMOKINSSSS has his tails blacked out and his lights are very hard to see. ---
