Remember how I got that tint ticket like 2 weeks ago? I got another one now for the same thing. I had my A/C on and windows rolled up and a cop was passing by on the opposite way going about 45mph. She flipped a bitch and got me after i made a left turn. I pull into a parking lot and it was a extremely humid day so i went through the whole parking lot before pulling over to find a shady spot to park. I parked right under a tree :p . She comes up to me and tells me that he pulled me over for my tint. Then she starts questioning me about why my car smells like weed.[We just hotboxed lol] :thumbsup: She runs our records and finds nothing. So another lady cop comes up and she asks to search the car i say go ahead you wont find any weed. We step out of the car and they frisk us both. My friend got the good looking one :hitit: i got the old hag! After she frisks us and searches my car she finds a roach in the ash tray. She tells me "So this is why you dont have any weed, cause you guys smoked it all." I just smile at her and sayy yuuuuup:lol: Then while the old hag was talking to us i noticed the good looking lady cop was running her fingers on my car and basically rubbing her entire lower body on my back fender. [Just washed/clayed/polished/waxed/sealed] so everything just sliiiiides. She looked lost in her own world biting her lip so i just say to her "You like that?" :rofl: She said it reminded her of when she washed her car. MY ASS! But long story short I'm planning to buy some windows and swap it out to get it signed off then put them back on after it's cleared. Would this be a good idea if i wanted to keep my tint on? I'm not sure how i would switch out the windows but it should be fairly easy? Right? Thanks for the help.

weed is barely even considered a drug in cali. if you have less than an ounce, unseparated. they will usually just curb it and MAYBE write you a ticket.. IIRC its about 73 dollars.

over an ounce is intent to sell.. so you go from ticket. to felony just that quickly.. or if it is separated into more than one container.

of course i've also smoked with half of the cops that i know.. haha

Well the rear windows can be tinted or even painted black, but the front windows need to be clear. The cops are just asshole and have nothing to do. They won't throw you in prison for having weed (depends on the baggie lol) If its a roach, they'll just throw it on the floor and step on it.

in hawaii its totally different... they get really mad with you tint the back window because they high beam your ass when they pull you over so they can see what youre doing inside the car... if you have the back window tinted dark they dont know if your getting a shot gun ready for them.

mann! i got a ticket the other day for not having front plates... cops here suck! 1st ticket ever for me.

Yeah they didnt really care about the roach cause i told them i smoked it yesterday and they cant do anything about that. She just told me dont smoke and drive because they can get me for a DUI if i ever do get caught. And Legends are made for smoking. Leather seats, leather top. What coupe do you know has 1 ash tray in the front and two in the back? :D Straight mobbing car. But do you guys think it would be a good idea to buy two front windows and changing them out? Difficultly level??? Doesn't seem that hard to me. Cant i just take out my door panels and unscrew some stuff and replace the windows like that?

I just replaced the seals around my windows and had to take the windows out because of the channel run. It was a friggin pain. But, if you would rather do that than just have it taken off, inspected, and put back on, then it is an option. It could save money in the long run if you keep the windows for the next time you get pulled over.

Window replacement get easier each time you do it. Just lower window about half way, remove panel, remove or loosen two bolts that hold window, remove one bolt that holds window lock at top, and you are ready to pull window out. Bit of a pain the first time, much easier second time, and not too bad after that.

Obviously you didnt learn much from your first ticket, did you! I can help ! If you keep breaking the tint rules, no one can really help you much.
Re tint you windows legally and your problem is solved.

And dude, if you keep smoking weed while driving with illegal tint, sooner or later you may find you have a much more serious problem.

Hope this helps, but I doubt it :giggle:

Im located in Sacramento/Elk Grove. EGPD has absolutely nothing to do. At night sometimes i see them cruising the streets switching lanes constantly and turning on their sirens just to make a turn. They also rapidly press on the brake to make it flashing. The same cop that i saw do all this reved his engine on me and i reved back. After I did that he just took off and went smashing about 80mph on a local street. I didnt chase after him because I was already drunk. :confused: So avoid Sacramento/Elk Grove. This place blows.

Hahaha you guys got me there. I'm still young so im just having my fun i guess. Thanks for all the feed back everyone. I'm planning to pick up 2 front windows for $100 and try to bargain for $75 and just swap it out and get my ticket signed off and repeat if anything. [I'm picking the windows up from the dismantling place from where i get the JDM headlights. He has a couple of pairs of KA8 and TONS of KA7 so PM me if intrested. I've been lagging on everyone else on them, havent had much time to be on the forum to make sales just been using to get help and advice for my car.]

i have had friends that get their doctors to sign a note permitting their window tint for sensitive skin haha it works everytime.. the cop will just look at it all confused and let you go.

Tisk, tisk! Glad I'm too damn old to still be doin' that kind of stuff. You're playing with fire (literally) blazing up in your car and with front window tint. Take Jim Carrey's advice. It's free.

In 14 yrs of having my windows light tinted all the way around, l've only been pulled over for it once-and I also live in Cali. Cop gave me a choice-either replace missing front plate or strip off tint.

Guess which one I chose?

Let us know how the window swap goes. And you can pm me if you get stuck trying to replace the windows. All's you need is a phillips head, and a 10mm socket wrench with an extension. And if you are going to go through all of that you should put some grease in your channel runs while your in there. I picked up a tube of Honda grease from the dealer for $25. And quit driving around fucked up, it's not safe and dui's are expensive and can ruin your chances of getting a good job!

I'm all about hot-boxing it, but with illegally tinted windows, and your car obviously already has a reputation? G2BMC!!! Stick to the back roads man! G2BMC!!!

mmm....citations. i got bunch o' tickets back in the day. no more for me, i've had my share. but really though, i dont know the exact percentage but my girl got 20 in the front and 15 in the back with no problems. i dunno how she does it, maybe cuz she's cute...idk. but basically they dont want dark ass tint in the back cuz they cant see you when they have they spotlights pointed in your cabin, and your front windows cant be tinted cuz they think you might be pointing a shot gun at them, or getting a shot gun to point at them:dunno:
