4 tickets - please advise.

dudafunk

Okay so I turned 25, it was the long 4th of July weekend and my friend had a date who got dolled out to me just after he heard from his girlfriend that she was flying down to NY to spend the weekend with him as a surprise. Typical story, people with 370z's whoplease don't taunt at me :-) I know this is a free speech forum yada yada but please don't reply with more than this:



Anyway, I got pulled over on the LIE, Nassau County NY. He said he got me at 97 but gave me an 80 on a 55. He also gave me a following too close ticket.

I will be getting hold of an attorney though I know I was speeding... all that is fine and I will pay whats needed.

BUT - I also got two tickets for tints - one for sides and one for the non-existent "REAR SIDES" on the Z. He measured the sides with the device and it said 72. When I got my tints, I clearly told the shop to give me LEGALS. I guess (and now after Googling it around), the Z already has some factory tint by default so even a "legal" tint on top actually makes it illegal in NY. I am honestly not guilty about this. Specially for the REAR SIDE - there's nothing there really (and neither did the officer have a way of MEASURING IT). The tint shop clearly said it is legal, of course they didn't want to tell me that there might be factory tint already, now that I researched the issue.

So... is there some factory tint already on the Z? Like I said, the device read 72 with a "legal" tint + whatevers on there from before.

you can black out the rear windows in a car if you want, i'm pretty sure, and not get a fine.

waaaasabi

Yeah New York state is concerned with your front windshield and front windows. Your rears can be tinted to your preference.

An attorney ASAP is smart; and its not the fines of course, it's the points. Good luck.

Also, was it highway patrol in a Charger?

Speaking from my personal expereince, when I had my windows tinted, the tinter checked all windows and there was NO factory tint applied.

lawyer is all you can really do about the speeding tickets. as far as the tint tickets, i'm sure those will get dismissed. i've heard a ton of cases (in NY) where people get add-on tickets to their speeding ones, just because the cop goes on a power trip; usually with a lawyer, all of those get dismissed as the judge is well aware of that.

Why is your friend going on a date with another girl when he has a girl friend? Why have a girl friend? I don't get it.. why not just be single and not lie to either of them and just have lots of "friends"?


Word to the wise... video tape all sexual escapades.. trust me!
