I mean... yes ur are correct. and pay a lil fine like $10 of so I believe...

Or fight it and say that this car is not yours and you were just borrowing it. That is if the car is under ur parents' names.

call local police station and request an officer to swing by to exam your fix-it citation and he or she will sign it off
goto court house with citation with officers sig on the back. pay fee (usually 5-20 at most)

You can't be serious 12 months in jail just for a $1000 fine the most you would do for not paying a fine is probably a month in jail which is probably three weeks tops. Good luck to you.

using this source http://www.iwfa.com/iwfa/Law_Chart/S...aw%20Chart.htm as a reference, it doesnt seem the GA tint laws arent so strict. its dated 2005 as well.

it seems like for those penalities, its more than just window tint IMO. what did the officer cite you for?

Just take someone else's car w/o tint to the station. They just look at the windows and then write it off and then you go pay the fine. Cost me $10.
