in the concord area got freaking pulled over for front TINT!! man sooo dumb now i have to pay to remove it and then maybe later put it back on...summer school just started and i got a speeding ticket haha my first one....man....

anyone kno of a hook up in concord or a friendly officer who wants to help me out

jus sharing my pain

 

front tint as in windshield or front windows? how dark is it?

and yes, tint laws are :ghey:

 

they are the results of dumb #@%@ people who cause trouble/issues and thus become a danger to law enforcement... hence the need for tint laws. =\

 

Dang, Concord's only across the bay from me. . . I've got 5% on the rear and rear passenger windows, now I'm thinkin' of just leaving my drivers/passenger windows alone. . . he he he

 

i live in concord too, and maaaan, good luck finding a "nice" cop (as you so eloquently put it). just be glad it wasn't pleasant hill. they would have found at least 2 or 3 more things wrong with it!

 

ya guys haha i got 5% in back and 35% in front hehe it was a foggy day so not much light inside my car...ya im glad he didnt bust me for no front license plate or somethin....ya dang i jus paid for my school books now i gotta pay to remove something i like haha

anyone know why its illegal for front?

im curious

 

i hear ya man. i got pulled over for no front plate (that i understand, but when i purchased the car it never came w/ one) and a modified exhaust ticket (pig put non-fixable) for my Apexi WS exhaust which is freakin almost quieter than my stock exhaust. damn pigs.

i read up on the vehicle code he cited me for and he had no reason to put non-fixable on the violation, in most cases pigs are suppose to allow the motorist a chance to prove that the exhuast is legal or fix it. what a dickhead. i plan on getting my exhaust decibel tested and fight this son of a bitch.

 

I never understood why CA has laws against tinting your front windows. Suffice to say, when I moved to CO, I was kindof surprised that it was legal here. Anyways, best of luck!

 

OT: but are you coming to the norcal meet in julY? its right in your backyard (walnut creek) i'd love to see a 7th gen up close!

 

FWIW, I can only guess at a couple of reasons. Officer safety may be an issue (not being able to see inside the vehicle), and the other may be likened to a driver wearing sunglasses at night.:dunno:
