Not really about a 370z, well my old Z has to do with it. Anyways, the other night i was doing duty at my unit. Had to pick the gf up and bring her home so as i was coming onto the base the MP's pulled me over. Now since im about to pull into my units parking lot im already slowing down and the MP's just got behind me from a intersection, so im thinking "wtf? im doing 30kmh in a 40 zone"
I pull into the lot and the MP's park the car right behind mine to block it. They sit there for about 5mins. I take that time to get my licence, registration and insurence out. The 2 officers come up to the window and the following conversion took place....
Officer: Good evening, do you know why i pulled you over?
Me: Nope
Officer: You have illegal tint on your front windows, you understand thats illegal and you cant have it, correct?
Me: yea i know its illegal
Officer: Then why do you have it?
Me: Well for starters, it looks nice with my car and i hate the sun beaming in on me. Also in the 4 years i've been posted here and this being my 4th vehical with 5% tint all around....i have never been pulled over.
Officer: You mean Edmonton city police or RCMP never pulled you over or gave you any trouble for it?
Me: Nope. My buddy told me when i first moved here that if I dont act like a retard on the streets, i wont be botherd by the police. And infact the last time i was pulled over by the police is when you guys (MP's) pulled me over because you claimed my 370z had a burnt out tail light, which in fact was a fog light in the rear.
Officer: fair enough, can i see your licence, insurence and registration please?
I hand him the stuff, him and his partner go to their car for 10mins and finally come back.
Officer: you know your tail lights are illegal and arent allowed being tinted correct?
Me: yes i know they are illegal, along with about 5 other things on the car
Officer: Which are?
Me: just random mods on my car for racing
Officer: you street race?
Me: Nope, i already told you, i dont act like a retard on the streets. I do time attack racing at Stratotech Raceway, Drag racing at Castrol Raceway and AutoX here at the base.
Officer: Fair enough, well im going to show you the same curtesy as the city police and not issue you a ticket or warning.
Me: Thank you
Officer: have a good evening
Me: yea i will, now i can go back to work and finish watching Boondock Saints 2.
Officer: (as he gets in his car) The first movie was better...
So after 4 years and 4 vehicals with 5% all around on all of them (except for the SRT-10, that was 5% in the front and 1% in the back) my streak came to an end of never being pulled over about my tint. However, i wasnt issued a ticket, warning or told to remove it
So how lucky have you guys been? Also just for reference, this is what my car looks like with the windows and tail lights. I'm actually thinking about removing the tint on the tail lights...looks abit ricey
