Window Tint Ticket.... Last night i got a ticket for tinted windows in my Toyota. It is a $75 ticket. I know that tinted windows is an Equipment Violation, I asked if i paid the ticket will it go on my insurance. He said for 90 days then will drop off.
My question is will this raise the rates? Whats the deal?

I have another question. The ticket that i received was the YELLOW one like the one that you get when your speeding.
Is this a moving violation or equipment violation....

I got one of those this time last year, and I just paid it.... Not a mover, and state farm didnt raise my rates. You could beat it by taking it off and taking pictures with you to court, or finding a car that looks like yours and taking those pictures to court, but thats on you.

My friends have had them and i guess it doesnt affect their insurance rates since its not a "moving" violation. Most of the time if you talk to the city attorney they'll drop it if you prove you've removed the tint. I'd never remove it, but it was an option
I just got one for the first time after 5 years of window tint last week. Must be out and about for that this month. They need a new goal for some months I think..
i got a tint ticket n brought in a pic of another members car lol. my friend has gotten his 5th tint ticket last night and he hasnt gone to court for his first one yet haha the cops seem to love his car
I got a ticket for tints but said if I take them off and bring in a picture, then they'll drop it. I was going to retint my window side anyways because it got scratched but I could've taken a picture of my friend's black TA and it would've been the same outcome.
That is BS! I got a tinted window ticket on Thanksgiving! Went to court two weeks ago with pictures showing I removed the tint. They stuck me with the ticket and told me it was considered a moving violation!

Whatever you do DO NOT wait and goto court...pay it ASAP... I got a tint violation on I-355 on Thanksgiving weekend by a state trooper. I had the option togo to the Courthouse and pay it before the courtdate but I didnt make the time for it so I went to court and plead guilty. They slapped on a court fee so my $75 ticket turned into a $180 fine!!! BS!!!! I been to court many times in the past and never had to pay a court fee....I guess Dupage is starting to do this now......and I consider myself lucky cause all the other people that had actual moving violations like speeding tickets that plead guilty with supervision were paying $280+ !!!!!
And btw window tints is an equipment violation......Doesnt go on your insurance or hurt you in any way....besides your wallet

I had my tint ticket, my dad removd it on me. so I just went to court and the judge just asked if i removed it, i sid yes, and he said i was good to go, so I'd fight it every time
fight it everytime? i was told by a cook county sherrif u can get a fine if u get caught with them on after u show the court u got them off. its like tellin the court to **** off or something lol they dont seem to like that too much. could get 600-1000$ fine he said.... btw its a friend of my moms not just a random cop i saw lol
