The fact that he rolled the windows down when he spotted the cop (see first post in this thread) leads me to believe his tint is not legal. YMMV
Did the cop follow proper procedure? Probably not (I'm not familiar with CA law). But it's not like he made up some bogus charges, either. If you don't want to display a front plate, move to a state that doesn't require one. Same for tint. If ya wanna play, ya gotta pay.
