So... You're mad you get a second fix it because you got caught a second time. Yea, I had a busted headlight once and got stopped twice in one night. I was let off with a warning the second time. If I drove for a week without fixing it I'd expect another ticket.

Willfully tinting your car illegally and showing a cop you got stopped already and are delaying removing the infraction is not going to get you a cop's sympathy. Deal with it.

And you're acting like a child about this, by the way.

Ask them how we can start this? I don't have any clue where to begin. I'd be fine if we were 35% like all the rest of the states in the west.

Interesting because that sounds like something a child would say. Your comment is completely non-constructive and juvenile. Again, please learn to read. You are like the fifth person who has very low reading comprehension, which is proven by your post. Get better.

Sounds good I will add you to contacts. I will also ask them this coming week and see what requirements have to bet met, etc.

Ignorant and uninformed citizens are what governments love. It allows them to tax us out the ass, take away our rights and no one cares. The attitude of "The government must know better than me" gets us all screwed.

Sadly that proposed tint repeal thing probably won't work here. CA is one of the worst--if not, the worst--cop/govt suckers in the entire country.
As a law abiding gun owner, I'm tired out the ass by it. And I'm about to get hit by some new laws that just got signed so I'm even more frustrated.
Repeal tint? Er mah gerd, won't anyone think of the children/women/valiant police?!
Doubt it'll work the first time. But you gotta start somewhere.

Anyway, gah, I have a feeling I shouldn't have posted, but I couldn't resist. The first one with the crapton of Thanks and the second one, and then yours, is making this thread turn into a slippery slope...

You should probably work on getting that illegal tint removed rather than try to justify your outrage.

When you admit to a cop you've already been cited and get another fix it, you really shouldn't be surprised. Like others have said--get it fixed and the second citation will drop. It's not a big deal.

Sure you can disagree with a law and you're free to try and change the laws, but until then you're going to be held to comply. If you don't like it, move.

Seeing this as me thinking the government knows best really proves your maturity. Good job, fellas.

You do make a good point, but nonetheless we have got to try and see how far we can take it. And IF we can also find police officers who sign it that would be even stronger.

I agree. I don't own a gun, but I would like to. It sucks for everyone. Even something as small as window tint is annoying. Why do they get to choose for me? Me having tint hurts no one.

Agree with the first part, but I wouldn't move.
I'd stay and vote out the idiots that legislate this garbage, and make effort toward the cause.
Give them an inch and they'll take a mile. Cancer spreads.
Before I know it, the state I moved to will start legislating the same crap.

Unfortunately tints are one of those laws that may be hard to start any discussion about. The laws are really stupid, but it's also too mundane a topic to get any passionate movement/support going about.

Right but you seem to miss an important point, which is in your most recent post above - it has already been established. Please see below,

In my first post I literally ended with, and started with:

All I am doing is sharing, explaining and conversing with forum members. Sure there is a little complaining but I do not believe I am taking it too far. Perhaps I am posting things "out loud" that a lot of people are thinking or have on their minds.

Fortunately, a forum member (Tim) proposed a great idea of a petition, which I think is a great start. Perhaps it will go nowhere, but it doesn't hurt to try. Moving out does not solve the problem/issue - it only avoids it and potentially prolongs it. Now if you want to move out of state to avoid State Income tax, that is a different story, but to move for tint? I'd rather stay and challenge!

I'm dealing with the new gun laws personally and while I wouldn't move because of it, it's certainly something I've been very vocal about.
So while I'll remain in compliance with the laws, I'll continue to show my disapproval.

And OP--that's what I was getting at to begin with. When you're hit with a fix it you don't get a free pass to break the law until the court date or whatever. It sucks you got hit with a second ticket, but it's within the officer's power. As someone that has worked with local PD and sheriff for years, I know some of the cop mentality and they'll see this as you just scoffing at authority.
But I am with you about the tint laws. I lived in Arizona for a year and absolutely had to get tint on all my windows.
Up north I don't think the weather really gets hot enough to warrant Window tinting, but in the Central Valley where I am and in socal the weather gets damn hot. I'd definitely have tint all the way around if it were legal, but I chose not to take the tinting gamble. If there's progress with getting tint laws changed I'll be there with you.

Wanna sign off on my ticket?? :thumbup:

Thanks man, I appreciate it. And with regard to I understand that from their perspective it will come off that way, but because I spoke with both my uncles who are police officers and they said they themselves have never stopped anyone for tints or even no front plates made me more optimistic (which obviously did not work out in my favor) bonk! :bonk:
