Default Got pulled over by CHP on the 210 going east bound

Hey just wanted to FYI you guys that I got pulled over this morning... Well reason was I was speeding but he let me go on that..woo..... but he cited for obstruction of view since I have too many stickers on my front windshield. Becareful because they are cracking down on it. SInce I have curtains, they said you cannot have curtains unless it's detachable and if the curtains hide behind the column where your seatbelt thingee is, it's ok. Also huge broadway mirrors are not legal too. I was surprised on the broadway mirror since I have a 300MM mirror. SO becarfeul guys...........FYI

I wonder why the broadway mirror is not legal, especially when it provides a better area of view? weird.

Good to know! Yeah, a while back I got pulled over for tinted tails. But I also had my club sticker going up the side of the windshield and the cop said I have to get rid of it. Oh well.

did you tell the cop that you are the last surviving Samurai from Japan and you could kill him in less than 5 sec? LOL.

Yeah man did he only give you 1 obstruction of view or did he get you for each one in the windshield? As for Broadways, wow I didn't know those mirrors are illegal too? Curtains I can understand.

I guess it's just illegal because it takes up more of your field of vision . Thats' stupid though.

I also heard the broadway mirror messed with your depth perception. That might have something to do it with it?

i can't believe the information on the rear view mirror. it provides a better view, so i think that could be won in court. glad i don't live in so cal anymore.

Damn that sucks man,
I was just pulled over 2 weeks ago for front tinted windows (LAPD) and was given a warning about my smoked taillights, the cop was cool but too cool cuz I still ended up with the tix. Does anyone know what the cost of the fix-it-tix are?

About the broadway mirror i've never heard of that either, maybe he was just being an A about it.

fix it tickets are 10 bucks. make sure you go to the chp because they dont charge to write off your ticket. you will pay the 10 bucks when you show it to the court.

Yeah they bumped it up to $25 from $10. I got pulled over recently for slightly tinted taillights and they wanted to give me a ticker for my wheels poking out past my fenders

Decals on the front windshield are destruction of view.
