This summer, cops are cracking even more on window tint.

Dang, We gotta watch out.

Wow, you don't care that a cop gets shot in the face? how messed up is that? if your family member was a cop, and that happend to them, I'm pretty sure you would be outraged. look, the situation is you have something illegal on your car. you have to deal with the consequences of having it. if they were to pull you over for speeding, and they see you have a modified exhaust, guess what... they can give you a ticket too. you got to man up and accept the fact that you aren't obeying the law.

I've had my tint on for almost a year and haven't gotten anything. I don't even think the fuzz know that my front windows are tinted. Ahahah. That's how light they are.

I would like to know if the fine goes up if you have multiple tickets under the same infraction...please help!

Thank you!

btw I hate cops for giving these b.s tickets!

I would love to get 10 of those fix it tickets because I got pulled over for tints last month and the cop gave me 3 tickets, one for each window, $90 each! That's $270. I pleaded not guilty and sent the tickets and Im waiting for my court date. Hopefully I can plead it down or something.

tint violations

if my ticket is not a "correctable violation" then all I have to do is go to court and pay the fine right?? I can leave the tint on since it's not a "fix-it-ticket".

is this true???

if its not correctable, all you have to do is pay the fine. i had a friend in my car club get one that was non-correctable. he paid the fine and didnt remove the tint.

I don't have some crazy type of film on it...it's "titanium" tint. which is standard on most vehicles who get there cars tinted. there are others like "quantum" and so on but those are paid for at extra cost at most places.

tint violations

soo...which one is it?? haha "SciontCya" says that I have to remove the tint but "2_much_tc" says i just have to pay the fine and not remove the tint. thats what i think because if it's not a "correctable" or "fix-it" then I just pay the fine. but can some one re-assure me. I could be wrong.

Im a little worried myself my tint is 20% legal is 35% ... At night im probaly screwed though... Maybe I can get a certificate from my eye doctor so I can get limo tint

The California law about those "letters from the doctor" is that the the sun shade must be removable for night driving.

The answer to the question of if just paying the bail and having the conviction go on your record means you can leave the tint on is "no." The tint is still unlawful and you can be ticketed when you pull out of the courthouse lot.

From yet another of the incredibly long trail of topics about the very same thing:

If a police officer gives you a "fix-it" ticket on a "Notice to Appear," the "yes" box will be checked below "Correctable Violation" on the front of the ticket. The police can give you another ticket if you don't fix the problem immediately.

When you fix the problem, get an authorized person to sign the "Certificate of Correction" part of your ticket.

Take the proof of correction to the court and pay the dismissal fee before the deadline. You can check your ticket or contact the court to see if the court accepts proof of correction by mail.

The court will then dismiss your case and it won't go on your record.

From the Superior Court:

Quote:

When you get a ticket, you have several options:

Bail forfeiture:
You can forfeit (pay) bail. To do this, send your payment and a copy of the citation or the courtesy notice to the courthouse.

Make your check or money order payable to the: Clerk of Superior Court.

When the Court receives your bail, your case will be closed. It will show up as a conviction on your DMV record.

Proof of Correction:
Your courtesy notice says whether you can pay for the violation or if you have to show "proof of correction." This is also explained on your citation.

If you show proof of correction and pay a dismissal fee, the court will dismiss the relevant charge.

Choice is yours: Fix the problem and pay to have it dismissed or pay the fine (admitting your guilt) have it on your record...

(Also, if you just pay the fine, you not only get it on your record, you leave yourself wide open for more tickets for the same thing. Gets awfully expensive after a while with the fines and potential for insurance increases.)

So long as you choose to be a lawbreaker you are liable to being treated as one.

I got my first tint ticket a few weeks ago at a big show. I have 17%. The cop was waiting right by the gate to the show just to get people for tint. The good thing is, in PA, you don't have to pay any fines as long as you remove it. To prove that its removed, you have to get an officer to sign the ticket and mail it in. Thank god I know a cop.
