Sucks that you got two tickets, and I don't agree with the second ticket either, but regardless you will need to remove the tint.
Or just get it signed off by one of your uncle's . OP has two to choose from. Most cops think the tint law is stupid. Only reason they use it is to allow them to pull someone over on suspicion, are new, or just jerks and need to finish their quota. I've had the same % tint on my car for 13 years. Went a little lighter on this one. This is the first time I have been pulled over (well, pointed to the side of the road, lol)

I was pulled over on a slow turn by a cop standing in the middle of the street. He waved 3 or 4 of us over, wrote us all tickets and moved on to the next 3 or 4.
