It use to be a "fix it ticket" and they would drop the fee from 98 dollars to 7 dollars if you removed the tints. NOW the ticket is 120 and if you take the tints off or re-do it with lighter film they lower the cost of the ticker to 98 dollars. all they want is money and anyway they can get it. has nothing to do with a safety issue ( unless you are blind and cant see...)

They dont want to give warnings out, either. the whole tint ticket is just an excuse so they can make arrest and find things on you or your car. pirates...
really?? I thought FLA and CALI were the only 2 states with no tint laws because of all the sunshine they get...(not sarcastic)

Pulled over, he asked if I knew how fast I was going...I tried the honesty approach and said "87 or 88 officer?" he actually smiled and kinda laughed and said "hmm, I got 86" and that was it...$210 ticket. First speeding ticket ever. wasnt really that bothered by it to be honest. been a long time coming for me haha

You know how much it's going to cost you in premiums if you don't fight it and let it go on your record?

Fight every ticket, most of the time the trooper/cop doesn't show up.
