Rep Power: 379

I'm thinking of pleaded not guilty, telling them that I bought the car that way, providing a receipt showing it was retinted, and providing pictures of Olytrojans windows. lol If they ask to see the car I'll tell them it's being repaired at the dealership and about to be traded in a new car. You guys think it will work? I have a perfect record otherwise... Maybe I should ask for a continuance. Cop put his little scanner on my window
"Legal is 30% you come up at 8%". What is DPS desperate on the 202 lately? lol They were blanketing it. I even rolled all of the windows down immediately to make him feel safe and had all of my info ready to go. He was on a mission. He didn't even notice the whole front window was tinted. haha

Anyone know the fine for a 28-959.01c?

Maybe I'll just pay it cuz I'm not stripping these windows...

or buy a cheap roll of tint, the cheapest darkest you can find. Open it up, crumple it up, get it sticky and sh**, and bring it in. Say, look, I ripped it all off. Works everytime. I used to get pulled over for lights all the ime (at least 8 times in 1.5 years). Every single time, I would park in the parking garage, take the stuff off my car (Turn bulbs, ricetastic washer lights, license plate bulbs, etc), go to court, say I took it off and show it to them. Than they would drop the ticket. Every single time they dropped it, so it should work.

Yeah I have been pulled over a couple of time with 6% on my windows with no issues. But yep I always roll my windows down when I see the cops. I just get nailed for front plate violations LOL and charcoal plate covers it seems like. I don't know many people who have 30% window tint in AZ the darker the better as I saw, they could pull over tons of people down there.
