Like the title says.....Got busted by the Law Dog in a near by town for Tint Law violations!! As some of you know I have 5% tint all round on my truck, have had it for about a year now, well I was going through a near by town that I go through alot because its between my work and my house and got stopped by the city cops and ticketed for violation of the tint law. I was riding with my front windows down, due to it being 98* and the copper stopped me for the rears! When I had my tint done the law was 27% on the fronts and what ever on the rears. Now it seems they have changed the law to 27% all round and it seems you have to have a card applied between the window and the tint stating that its 27%. So now I have untill August 5 to make it legal or strip it off! This FUKKEN sucks!

What ********!! They have nothing better to do. Stuff like this burns my ass! Time for a class action suit against the town!! or register in another state. **** 'em. I wouldn't do it. Take my registation, then impound the truck, take the lisence. When all is said and done, and there are four or five bloodied corpes at your feet, you can blame that ******* cop!!!

Unfortunately, I ain't been able to find a eye doctor around this area that will write a prescription for the tint. Most even have it posted in there office waiting room that they won't do it for one reason or another.

Do they know 27% is lighter than factory???

I didn't know that myself... I figured, worst come to worst, I would have the front tinted to match the rear factory tint and see if I can get away with that. I mean damn, ain't like I can do a damn thing about the factory tint. Damn local cops to damn busy fukken with the hard workin rednecks to catch the drug dealers, kidnappers and child molesters we got running the streets!

Thats really weird. There should be no restriction on the rears, because you don't have to be able to see out the back. In MO you can have all the rears as dark as you want, but 35% is as dark as it can be on the front. I know Illinois is worse and they are super ***** about it.

Regardless , the tint is allowing you perfect vision too see out. whether you can or not is a mute point. The problem is seeing in. Funny how the limo drivers never get there balls broke. and those are some dark ass tints. Guess there isn't much danger for pulling over a limo then it is a ride. Anybody can see a tricked out truck, is gonna have a person that has his **** together. Open a limo service bear, thats the ticket. One horse town barney fife, wannabe **** head cop!!!
Oh I like cops btw. lol

My thoughts exactly right after I got the ticket! You know, since the law changed since last year, you would think they would give warnings for the first time. If that had been the case I would just stay the hell out of that town, but no, I had to run up with a butt munch trying to prove something I guess....

I agree but the law applies to the working folk too. . Same thing happened to me (fix it ticket) and i got no one else to blame for it but myself. Of course i am taking a risk again since i put on 20% a while ago.
