Another tip....go to your optometrist and tell them you get blinded by sunlight in your car. If you sucker him in..you can get him to give you a legal written voucher for dark window tint hint hint

It is a legal reason to stop someone, so we use it (just like tag lights being out).

A front plate will get you pulled over because it's extremely obvious. Cops are used to always seeing a front plate (if required in your state) so when you don't have one, it sticks out like a sore thumb.

My vote is put a plate on the front and your troubles will go away. Rarely will a cop give you citation for it. I actually don't know a single officer at my department who has actually wrote one.

I take it patrol in NC is different from NJ. And it also doesn't stop the fact that we still get pulled over from it. I understand what you're saying though, but from my experience with getting two tickets for tints, I just took them off because I'm pretty sure the cops were just giving me a hard time for shits n giggles

Well...you probably got a ticket because it was illegal. You knew this when you got your tint done. Don't bitch and moan because a cops are doing their job.

Creating a fake invoice sounds like a great plan. And I highly doubt a "cop" is going to stand there and call the number on the invoice.

Wasn't trying to be a snoop but just a quick question... After saying you were on the force and telling us about the front plate, why is it that you're having a euro plate with "N54 TT" replacing the front plate?

I used to rock tints on all my cars until I got a damn ticket at a funeral!!!!!!!!! Yes for 5% all around!! lol Now no tints, so people can see who is driving!! plus, you always hear all these stories about how tint-shops can do the dot matrix right......not worth it.
