So today, i left my house took the sexy beast out the garage. She was all clean shiney and sparkly (later to turn pollen green....). Around 7:40, i picked up my friend on my way to school. Made a stop sign right then stopped at a light. My front two windows were down. So you have an east indian looking (yet really west indian) driver and a colombian spanish passenger. In broad daylight in a nice car driving normal. I pass through the light when suddenly i hear sirens, I look up and see an unmarked van behind me with his lights flashing and the driver in a police uniform signaling me to pull over. I pull over thinking CRAP! what did i do? did i stop at the stop sign? So i pull over and he approaches the vehicle, first words out of his pig mouth in a rude tone were, "Who's does this car belong to?" So i calmy said, "It's my parents officer." It is registered in their name. He then asks for my license registration and insurance. As i look for it, he asks me if I know why he pulled me over. Now i'm thinking well how the hell am i supposed to know, tell me! so i asked no officer why. He said the tint on my rear windshield was too dark. Now my windows are tinted 35% on the sides and 20% rear glass. It's not dark at all especially in the day time with sun light inside and all the light passing from my sun roof. He couldn't see my front windows because they were down the whole time. I thought it was only illegal to have tint on the driver passenger front. But he said you can't touch rear windshield. Now i don't know because i thought rear windshield was fine to do what you wanted as long as you had side mirrors present. In the end he gave me a summons, not a ticket. didn't tell me if i had to appear in court. just said i have to get a recipt showing that i got it removed and it'll go away but it doesn't go on my license or insurance. so i have no clue but it was a shitty start to my morning. My first time being pulled over but no moving violation yet! I was not happy at all. So tahts my story, anybody have any info about legal window tinting and what i should do? i'm sure many of you have been in this situation too.
THe picture is me sitting on her and you can clearly see on the sides that oyu can see through my tint which is not liek other ppls who do 5%. Only pic i had of the rear
