    [PIC HEAVY]So yeah i got pulled over....

    As of monday night i got pulled over for the most stupidest thing ever, tinted front windows which you can honestly barely tell.

    Coming home last night from the store with my mom, turned into my street, cop was heading opposite direction and pulls a bitch and runs my plates, finally flashes lights and pulls me over. Cop and his partner approaches my car and tells me to step out of my vehicle in like a situation like im wanted, so my mom flips out of what i did wrong and the cop just tells me to turn off my car haha. He then said "you know why i pulled you over?" "you have front tinted windows which is illegal." At this point i didnt know it was illegal cuz my dad got these tinted at a tint shop basically a decade ago and never mentioned anything, worse part is, it doesnt even looked tinted from what everyone said. Meanwhile his partner was being a complete douchebag to my mom yelling and what not. He gets my reg and license info, sat for almost 30-45 mins and finally comes back cites me and gives me a fix up ticket, but he told me right before he gives me, "You know, we have a lot of people just firing at us for nothing and at the end you end up with a ticket." Well they were straight up dicks from the start and me and my mom werent flipping out as bad as you think, i then said "howcome all of a sudden now you guys decided to pull me over when in fact ive been driving past you guys at night for the past year and a half?" He said "You just get lucky that you can get away with it" "I even got a ticket for my tinted windows so dont talk back to me"

    Pretty much fed up with the cops in this town, they just pull people for no apparent reason(true fact) and they search around my car to find more faults. Luckily they havent checked my front because of my euro plate (which is illegal). The first cop that got me told me "hey just change it so you wont get a fix-up ticket" straight up legit and lets me go. This one is just straight asswipes along with his partner. Now i gotta show up in court and have the tint removed which i already did, honestly i dont even see a difference.

    Anyone had similar experience like this in the past?

        it is against california law to touch your front windows and/or windshield...stupid i know....you would think in your area they would be more worried about other things than tinted windows, but it gives them a reason to pull people over. sorry to hear that man

            I believe the general rule of thumb is if you can put your license behind it, and still see it on the other side legibly, they let it slide. That's what they did to me on my old Titan.

            Never talk back to an officer, they don't cut breaks that way. Sometimes they don't feel comfortable in a situation and they want you out of the car. I've been pulled over a gillyun times and never get ticketed, just warnings. Be cool to them, they'll be cool too.

                    CHP and street cops have gone bat shit crazy lately.

                    I got pulled over for doing 80 on a 75 on 15 North at 10 pm.
                    Officer pulled me over, i apologized first thing.
                    Than admitted that i were speeding (even though only 5 mph over the limit), apologized again.
                    And the douche nozzle still wrote me up for one.
                    I said, can we let it slide with a warning this time? I got tuition, rent and other killer expenses and it would be very much appreciated if you can let me go this time with a warning.

                    He says, you were tailgating, switching lanes too quick which is reckless driving and you don't have a license plate up front. So i am technically letting 3 violations slide already...

                    What a load of Horse Shittt.....F.

                          I got a speeding ticket and I didnt even get pulled over. Pretty much this is what happened: (Im including street names so its easier to understand)

                          My friend and I were driving from his house to my house. We made a left onto blackstone from shaw, heading north. Both of us were driving normal, maybe 4 or 5 mph over the speed limit. I slowed down to merge into the farthest right lane so I can make a right turn onto bullard heading east. I forgot to mention that my friend was behind me the whole time. Anyways we're driving the speed limit, stop at the red light on bullard right before you enter the 41 south. Then we continued to drive east on bullard towards first, as we passed Fresno street my friend sped up to get into my lane and cut infront of me. And my house is in the residential area between Fresno street and First street, on the right side. So as he sped up, which he was going pretty fast, there was a Police officer in his vehicle that sped after him into the residential area. My friend had pulled up onto my drive way and the cop had already pulled him over, I pull up infront of my house and parked my car and as I was walking towards my house he asks for my license/registration and gives me a speeding ticket! Lmfao funny thing is I got him on camera and he even says that I wasnt speeding here but I was speeding on blackstone but he couldnt give me a ticket on blackstone because I was only going 6 over speed limit and blah blah blah contradicting himself not making sense at all...

                          I wonder if I can use my video as evidence in court. I know it has to be in a presentable format but who knows they might not let me just cause...

                            Next time don't let your mom speak for you and try to be respectful, it goes a long way.

                            That being said, I was about to swear they weren't even tinted til I got to the last pics!

                            PS: Guys, there is no "factory tint" on these cars.

                              Go to your friendly neighborhood eye doctor and have him diagnose you with photofobia, a condition which leaves your eyes very sensitive to light. Keep a document in the car. Tint windows. Profit.
