I took care of it before the court date so when I showed up,I told the judge that I was unaware it was out at the time and took care of it immediately..I respectfully asked if there was any way the ticket could be dismissed to which she replied...
"I'm glad you took care of it so quickly but,was the light out at the time of the ticket?"...I answered yes (obviously,or I wouldn't have had a ticket in the first place...),to which she said "Then the ticket still stands...have a nice day"
Maybe I just caught the wrong judge on the wrong day???

What is funny about this thread is the amount of people that know their stuff is illegal, drive with it like that anyway, are completely shocked when they get stopped and then complain about having to pay the ticket.
I might not like every law that I have to enforce, but it is still the law and for me, too dark of window tint is a safety concern. By the way my tint is 26%.

No--- women on cell phones , people knowingly parking in front of fire hydrants , ******** blowing down I-10 @ 95mph with a pizzacutter spare tire on one of the front wheels , ******** high school kids speeding through school zones & cocksmokers running red lights are a safety concern

I know what you meant though bro ! I would not want to have to approach a mid 80's Caddy with 24" wheels & limo tint on it at night either ...............

I might write my own mother a ticket, you never know, LOL. But seriously, we are the worst? Why because we see a violation of the law, stop someone for it and then sometimes write them a ticket?

It looks good but we carry our tint meters with us, when we are on patrol. Tint and no front plate are usually the #1 reasons I pull people over. My 95 T/A has a front plate and when I get my side windows tinted, they will be at 25% (darkest legal tint on our driver and passenger side windows). My rear windshield is 5%!

in the state of texas, you shouldnt of had to pay the fines if you took the tint off... it should be just like a headlight, if you get a ticket for a headlight being burnt out, all you have to do is fix it, and the ticket gets dismissed
at least i think tint would be the same...
but thx for the warnings compiments

a lot of people trip because whats illegal and whats wrong are sometimes two different things. for me, as long as the tickets are handed out fairly, i'm cool. no more of this busting an f-body for like 3mph over the limit, and not do anything about the soccer mom going 10 over.
one funny thing though is that the laws can be changed. thats what we have state reps and senators for. if we are gonna bitch someone out, it should be them and not the cops, because like he said, the cops are just doing their job. people dont want front license plates? people ned to start hounding their reps to get the law changed. think a speed limit somewhere is ridiculously low, get your elected officials on it. bitching at or about cops is like bitching to the delivery driver that your pizza is burned. hell, he didnt make the pizza, he's just the poor bastard that has to deliver it. same with cops. they dont write the law, but they are the unlucky souls tasked with enforcing it.
as for me, i will keep paying no front plate tickets or move out of texas before i put a plate up there.

I used to have double limo on y Z. I got popped at a stop light by an Arlington Motorcycle cop. He put the reader on it and it read 3%. I played dumb and was like is that illegal. He got mad and said he could take my inspection sticker because they apparently didn't follow the state regulations when inspecting the car. If only they knew I got it from one of these guys:
lol Needless to say after the smartass comment about the tint being illegal, I was issued following citations too the ballpark sum of $1000.00No front plate
Illegal tint
No license
No insurance
Noise disturbance
and something else.
I had left my wallet and insurance at AMS Racing and ran an errand on lunch and came back. Needless to say it was a shitty lunch that day. I got the license and insurance dismissed but had to pay the rest.
Glad I didn't get a fine for not having cats on the car that day though. I hear those are real expensive...
