It went well man at first they did not show that they had received my ticket and payment so they put a hold on my license and a bail. Then I got a court date, about 3 weeks later they deposited the check and cleared me of all charges.

It's your responsibility to know and confirm to any local laws, no matter where you are, period. Doesn't matter if you born/raised in NY and never left the state your entire life. You go to CA, you RESPECT their officers and laws. Don't like them, then don't go.

Also, complete bullshit. By that logic, someone in a 1-license-plate-required state can't drive into a 2-license-plate-required state without getting a 2nd plate for the front. Yeah, sure thing.

Are you a LEO? Or you just talking out your ***? FACT: If you are in CA, you follow the laws in CA - PERIOD! The CA LEO doesn't give a rats *** what is legal in AZ. Ask one; I'm sure he'll confirm it....

F you. I'm not arguing the legality of it. In short, it's a non-moving violation, and won't affect your license in the least in your home state if you simply chuck the BS ticket. If the CA LEO's want to be ******, that's their perogative.

Well they can pull you over for it, will it stand in a court, hell no, the OP can fight it and not have to take the tint off and worry about it. Just send in the signed off ticket with the $25 I believe and it's all good. That way you don't have to remove the tint and life is all copacetic again.

I remember when I got a fix-it ticket back in the day for my window tint here in CA...
could keep it on for $175
or
Could take it off, and pay a $10 fix-it fine...
I ended up going to a tint shop, told them the story, they ripped off the tint, I went to CHP got it signed off, went to the courthouse, paid my $10 fine, went back to the tint shop and had it re-tinted for $60. All in 2-3 hours...

If you have a vehicle that is LEGAL in another state, the one its registered in, then its legal in any other state for the most part minus a few states that have certain stipulations to some laws.

I just called the local CHP office and asked what the rules were about out of state vehicles vs california vehicle laws. They said that it states ANY vehicle in the state of california regardless of registration must follow the laws. He did say that if you do get pulled over for tint and explain that you are just visiting they usually let you go without a problem.
