Tints

FL definitely has tint laws. I have limo all around (except windshield), and have been stopped several times.

What do you usually tell the cops to get out of a ticket and/or court date?

Yea, I am only familar with NY Vehicle and Traffic law, but it seems like every car I see with a FL plate here in NY always has tints, so I made that assumption!!! Hmmm.....what do you tell a cop??? Please dont say, "I bought the car like this!"....because it doesn't matter they are still illegal and your driving with them!....just say nothing and pay the ticket or remove the tints....here in NY if you remove them within 24 hours and bring it to a PD the ticket gets dropped!...not sure how any other states work!

be nice and straight up. don't lie and be real. normally if the police officer is nice, he would just give out a warning.

other times, if you know the law and the officer is just trying to handout tickets, ask him for his badge id# and ask to talk to his watch commander and let the watch commander know that you will file a formal complaint.

the watch commander is actually the one responsible for the actions of the police officers, so the complaints are actually on the watch commander's head and not the actual police officer giving you the ticket.

If the ticket is legit, complaining will be a waste of time.

Limo tint is just asking to be pulled over, and only making a car with little visibility already, that much worse.
