Leave the tint on and mail in fine

 

NY state has passed a law as of 1/1/17, basically no tints....Ive got inspection till July , but I have to remove mine in order to pass inspection, complete and utter BS !!! Rochester already has his tints off....Effing BS !!!

 

What would you know, you drive a beemer ya traitor?! jkjk

I agree, they should have rolled your window down a bit and tested it. Otherwise, its just his word against yours at the fine window.

 

I agree.

 

ya thats prob what i am gonna do.

but here in California the vehicle code states you cant have any tints on your windows in front of the driver seat.

 

I'm in SoCal and have had 30% tint for years without any issues. Maybe it was just your luck or the CHP had nothing better to do.

 

ya the last time i got a tint ticket was 7 years ago. most police dont care. i guess i just had the unlucky roll of the dice.

 

would a doctor's note even do anything? it's still illegal in california whether you have a doctor's note or not... unless you're hoping that the cop doesnt write the ticket because of the doctor's note.

 

It's Illegal to not wear a seat belt in any state but my old co-worker had a doctor's not exempting him from wearing it because it would bring on anxiety attacks from being restrained....Confirmed by local county police who frequented the store to be valid.

 

^ amazing. true story? what does the insurance carrier have to say?

 

True as of 2010 and in the Anne Arundel county area of Maryland. I would've asked about insurance if 19 y.o me would've thought about it at the time. Ever since a bad accident when I was 17 I've always worn my seatbelt - it saved my life. My car doesn't move until all occupants are buckled.

 

This is kinda old but got the same ticket about 6 months ago in the bay area. I thought I had to pay 220$ as well but you can actually just remove the tint, go to your nearest CHP office and have them sign the ticket. This means that they saw you removed the tint. Then take it to your local court house or whecer the ticket needs to be handled at and show them the ticket signed. They will ask for a $25 fee and your good to go.

Funny part is that the CHP officer didn't even come outside to look at my car. Literally told then I got the ticket for tint, removed the tint, and he signed it haha. After I paid the 25$ t the court house, a week later, I re-tinted my front windows

 

oh really you got the non correctable one? hmm i might have to try that and see. my ticket still has not posted on the courts website so have to wait for that to see how much i have to pay. then i am gonna see if its cheaper to re-tint or pay the ticket.

 

yeup non correctable. It's pretty much up to the cop if they want to make it correctable or non correctable. Some people just freak out when it's non correctable resulting in paying the fine even though you can still treat it as correctable.

But yeah for me, it costs me $160 to tint all 5 windows and is free to remove only the front 2 if I got a ticket. Which I did. So I got it removed for free and paid the 25$ fee at the court house. Than I reinstalled the front window tint for $120. In total I paid about $150 to get the tint removed, fix ticket, and re tint my front windows. Which is cheaper than 220. But yeah, it all depends on how much you pay for tint to decide if it's worth it to remove and pay the 25$ or just keep it on and pay the fine.
