whats up scion cop, just got my tC and want to tint the windows... I know its illegal if i tint it too much, but could you tell me the % of tint i should put on it? the most, illegal, but doesnt look it... know what im saying?

well now wel all know what you're saying Punjabi_tC_Sonu! =)

in cali you can tint all limo except the front (passenger and driver) and windshield. the front is 45% if i remember right and that isnt even worth tinting if you're doing 45%

 

Hold up man I have to get my ghetto decoder ring. Check with oyur local DMV for the tint %. All states are different.

First of all i just want to say thanks for have this up here. My question relates to carb regulation. I know c.a.r.b stand for "California Air Resources Board" so im guessing this only matters for california right? As you can see im not very saby with this.
I live in Philadelphia PA, i own a Scion tC and like everyone i want to get more power out of my car so i basically want to know if i put like a Injen CAI, or headers that dont have carb numbers am i still legal in my state.

Thanks

 

Sorry but im not familiar with the actual numbers. In Ct we basically go by who has or don't have emmission stickers. The inspectors are respnsibale for gauging vehicles.

All I wanna say is...ScionCop...you are the best. I'm an 18 year old kid and I've had so many tickets that were wrongly issued to me (but I had noone to ask, and no money for a good lawyer) that I felt violated. It's really nice to read posts from someone who not only is a cop, but a good person at that. Thanks alot.

 

Here's a CT question for you, what is the real penalties for driving with an open drink (non alcoholic), eating food while driving and driving with the cell phone... ive heard rumors that if you are under 18 and you are driving even with a handsfree device u get a fat ticket or even your car impounded... i just want this to all be clear and eliminate all the stupid rumors

 

The new rules came out on Oct 1st. I'll type it in as per staute when I get a chance. I see that their is some new stuff on 16-18 yr drivers and of course the cell phone and other distracting conduct while driving.

I don't know which state of New York you live in....but I've had many experiences in the court rooms of NY and I have never heard of such a thing. The DA in my area never talked to anyone prior to having me come on. So, buddy, why don't you take everyone's advice and....*drumroll*....GET LOST. Would you like that spelled out? In russian? Okay...sure...no problem:

Scioncop, i need assistance
Here is the background of my story

https://www.scionlife.com/forums/vie...922&highlight=

any advice on whether the two tint tickets are justified, or if one is sufficient? How about the cell phone?

Thanks

 

zhenya, in Ct we don't ticket per window but a tint ticket here will cost you $136.00--ouch. I could only imagine since its $60.00 in NY they may be doing it per window.

In CT only the front driver / passenger side windows + windshield qualify for a ticket.

Does NY have the first time waiver for cell phone violation? In Ct if you get caught the first time you can get the ticket waived if you show that you purchased a hands free device for your phone.

Scioncop

 

The first time waiver has expired. It was good during the first few months of the law. So it doesnt matter that I wasnt talking on the phone? The bill is not significant enough proof?
Also, as per tint tickets, this is what I found on the NYS DMV website
"12-a. (a) Every motor vehicle, except a motorcycle, when driven or operated upon a public highway, road or street shall be equipped with a front windshield in a fixed and more or less upright position constructed of safety glass as defined in subdivision fourteen of this section and required by subdivisions eleven and twelve hereof. No person shall drive any motor vehicle with any sign or other nontransparent material other than a certificate or paper required to be displayed by law upon the front windshield or the sidewings or side windows on either side forward of or adjacent to the operator`s seat.
(b) No person shall operate any motor vehicle upon any public highway, road or street: (1) the front windshield of which is composed of, covered by or treated with any material which has a light transmittance of less than seventy percent unless such materials are limited to the uppermost six inches of the windshield; or (2) the sidewings or side windows of which on either side forward of or adjacent to the operator`s seat are composed of, covered by or treated with any material which has a light transmittance of less than seventy percent; or (3) if it is classified as a station wagon, sedan, hardtop, coupe, hatchback or convertible and any rear side window has a light transmittance of less than seventy percent; or (4) the rear window of which is composed of, covered by or treated with any material which has a light transmittance of less than seventy percent. A rear window may have a light transmittance of less than seventy percent if the vehicle is equipped with side mirrors on both sides of the vehicle so adjusted that the driver thereof shall have a clear and full view of the road and condition of traffic behind such vehicle."

I was ticketed for sub 12b2 and 12b3. Is it just me or is the second one for back windows?

 

hey scion cop, how does aggressive driving work?
what is considered aggressive driving, ike speeding, weeving , cutting people off?

 

I'm not a cop Marlon, but ALL of that sounds pretty agressive to me! ;-)

 

well you know how it is dennis,

 

unfortunately, I do!! lol

 

Basically aggressive driving is when your being an offensive driver. You don't slow down, yeild, grant right of way, speed, pass, cut off and so on.

Your driving with an attack mentallity.

ScionCop

 

did you ever find that stuff?

 

Oh Smack!!! I forgot about that. I have it and I'll post it. Some new stuff came out for sure.

ScionCop

 

im just curious, i know there are certain things cops don't do to other cops like, they dont give them tickets or their immediate family members tickets just as a courtesy...so what happens lets say if you're a cop, and you get pulled over for speeding way over the speed limit? what would happen? (and the cop isn't familar with who you are, not same dept. or anything like that)

 

It's only courtesy and not a right. It's always up to the working cop on what the outcome is going to be.
