Got caught with illegal tint

I just got a fix it ticket today for illegal tint on my front windows. I do not wish to remove my tint. Anyone know how to get around this? I really don't want to take off my tint. I am in the stockton area. Anyone from stockton know anyone who can right off the ticket?

PLEASE I NEED YOUR HELP

Iono if i can use another person's car that is the same as mine. because the cops record the VIN number. The court will also check the vin # to see if it's my car. I don't know, i'm not sure.

I can't just ignore the fix it ticket. I need to find someone who knows anyone who can right off the ticket.

goto the doctors office.
have ur doctor write u a doctors note that you need tint inorder to block out the sun cause u burn easily.
simple as that.

or u could do the switching cars thing. just remember to switch the plates too. just ask any random cop when hes busy. ie. drinking coffee, eating something. just point to the car and say i got it fixed.
and they just sign it.

That's a good idea about the doctor's note. Do u think the cops will accept that excuse for tinting the front windows?

I think it's no darker than 70% (30% VLT) on the front. I have 25% VLT and have had no problems either.

NSXiboi- how dark is your tint?
Also, other option aside from switching your plates and taking pictures of "your" car w/o tint. Make friends with someone who works for a tinting company, and ask them to sign off saying that they removed it for you. You may have to kick down some money under the table to convince him, but it's still an option. Cheaper than removal and retinting.

I have 35% tint on the front. I got pulled over for speeding and for tint. But he let me go with the speeding. Still, i want to keep my front tints. And i am in stockton right now, so i don't know any tint company here.
