What up guys, I have 20% tint around my car and live in Jersey. I got stopped for it today and the cop did NOT give me a ticket, but said I have 7 days to show them it is off, otherwise I will get a ticket in the mail....Problem is, I am only 17, so are the cops going to give me a hard time and throw some more fines on the ticket?

I have 3 options,

A: Take the tint off, but its probably going to cost more to have it removed than the cost of the ticket.

B: leave it on and just pay the ticket...Does anyone know how much these cost? I've heard anywhere from $50 to $100....

C: Have 2 new windows put in and then replace them with my tinted ones...could be just as costly...

Please send your opinions this way

 

Pay the ticket and move on

 

I'm sure you could find an easy way to remove the tint yourself without much trouble... if you want to go that route.

Either that, or just pay it.

 

its easy to take the tint off....just use a razor blade and some elbow grease to peal it off.....depending on the amount of the ticket, just pay the ticket, but just know that you will probably draw more attention to yourself afterwards and might end up with another tint ticket....just know from personal experience

 

That is why I love a living in a county that doesn't have the meters to read tint, only time I have trouble is if I go on the highway and state police.

I can get a ticket and just pay for it and I won't get harassed for not taking it off.

 

the cop never used a meter..he just said that i could not have any aftermarket tint...he barely let me speak...

 

you cant have any tint in new jersey?

Looks like you can't have any tint on your side windows. I'd say pay it and move on, and if you get stopped again, take it off.

 

well that sucks, window tint ticket here in VA is $89

 

find someone local to do it. i found some guy who was mobile and removed all my tint for $5 per window. Just gotta look around.

 

I never knew anybody that didnt get a ticket for that - they always got a ticket and some of them had to go to court and prove it was off. If the ticket doesnt show up on your record its better to take it off. I dont know if it shows up even if you take it off.

Lets say it shows up only if you get the ticket and pay ... then the next time you get stopped you will 100% get a ticket cause the cop sees that. Then he might give you another ticket for something else you did. Cops hate kids in NJ. Do what you can not go get things on your record. State police forget about .... you get pulled over by them .... you get a ticket. Their job is to patrol and write tickets. Ive run into 5-6 cops in my life and atleast 3 of them made it a point to tell me they didnt like me.

 

no tint in texas, and if there is its never enforced

 

lucky, here in CA, they force you to take it off. they wont let you just pay it, you need a signature and id number of the inspector usually a police officer at a local station.

at least thats what happened to me. it didnt even give the option to pay the ticket only.

 

I find it funny that when I walk by the police station thats near my school I see a number of cars that the police men own that have aftermarket tint on them.

 

Pay the ticket then go to your doctor and get a script for it and you would be golden with it!

 

^^lol

when i got pulled over the last time for window tint I told him that I didn't want to get skin cancer but he just laughed and told me to wear sunblock and gave me a ticket.

 

Man avoid all the headache and drama and just pay the fine 40 to 50 dollar fine, and go on your merry way.Also thats very weird that you didnt get a ticket on the spot.Cause i've never even heard of that, getting a ticket in the mail for tint. Thats also funny when people jersey have tint all over even the windshield and its more than 20%, I guess it depends on the county in jersey

 

If you are really ____ed at the cop and they have tinted windows. Go to the station. Take a picture of the car and include the vehicle number of it. Then send it to the police department w.e in trenton and within a few day that car will be un tinted.

 

yea, im guessing it is a "verbal" warning? Either way, if I get, I will pay it, but if not, +1 for the good guys (me)...haha

 

i would just take it off, thats what i did cause i hate cops and dont want to deal with them for stupid stuff
