They never answer your questions about how to handle these tickets. It's pretty annoying, especially when you get a speeding ticket and ask where you can go for online traffic school to avoid having points added. Last ticket I got the officer was like, go online and find online traffic school. I was like where...? Idk just online he says lol

Does it say you have to go to county court or a local municipality? If you have to go to a local municipality they usually can't be paid online in my experience

Got yanked over in Buffalo 3 times in 1 month with 35% tint (meaning 65% of light is blocked out).. All three cops told me I'll keep getting yanked with anything darker than factory stock tint (which is not very dark at all, of course).. Had the tints taken off after the 3rd time getting pulled over.

PA is exactly the same the windshield can't be tinted but all other windows can but they have to let 70% of light in.

no it doesn't say squat.. as of right now i'm not even sure if i have to remove it.

I remember the cop saying something like "I'm just giving you a warning, so just follow the directions on the back of the ticket, and pay the fine."

Warning and Fine do not go together. I'm still not sure what he gave me. It's definitely written on a real ticket though... that I would know lol

on the back I think theres a space that says something like respond to, or appear here, that will let you know

Ya thet can be pretty chill about it.

yea it says "tickets for equipment violations may only be dismissed if you mail a receipt for repair, showing that the repair was made within one business day of the violation" pfffttt one business day

but my point is my violation isn't even showing up in the DMV records

no not what I'm talking about, theres a space the officer wrote in what courtroom to appear in or something similar. That will tell you whether it'll show up/can be paid on dmv website for sure
