Re: Ask A Police Officer
Can you, as a cop, pull me over and tell me that my tint is too dark without even measuring it?
I had a cop pull me over and doing this and told me to take it off ASAP. |

Re: Ask A Police Officer
Alright, just making sure.
I went ahead and did some research afterwards though and found out that my tint was legal because of the township I live in. I took it off before doing the research, then I had it put back on and never had another issue, no idea why I got pulled over for it. Cost me 90 bucks |

I am not a fan of citing an 18-20 yr olds having a good time during times of war. Though there are limits to how much of a "Good Time" they should have. There have been plenty of "Thanks for your service, and be careful" with a hint of "Don't do that again" during my tenure. Again, it's Officer dependent.

Re: Ask A Police Officer

Re: Ask A Police Officer
This may or may not have been asked already, but 40 pages is ALOT lol....
If a cop is lets say doing 80-85 in a 70 while riding in the fast lane (no lights or sirens) If I get behind him and cruise with him.... is that a no no? or would he probably not care. |

Contrary to popular belief, and even the "that's not fair" minded people, Police are exempt from Motor Vehicle Law while in the performance of their duty.

i will say some of them you can tell and maybe if you been looking at them for a while, but serious if i knew my tint was legal and a cop told me to take it off, i be like your crazy my tint is legal and i want your tool to show me other wise, that just doesn't seem right that he can tell me that it needs to come off if its legal. but i can see if you know its not legal it needs to come off. on my other stang i had i think 10% on there for years and never got told it was to dark, i've never had to deal with that

Re: Ask A Police Officer
All of my windows in my 03 mach 1 are tinted black, you literally can't in them (or out of them at night). I know every state varies as far as window tinting goes, but my question is: Since I'm military and have Michigan plates (which tinting is illegal in michigan) and i'm stationed in states all over the US then where would I fall into this category? Could I get stopped in different states because of my tint or would I slip into a different category because I have Michigan plates? I've always wondered that.

The other side of that coin, tinting is illegal in Mi but I drive my La registered vehicle through Mi with tint. If I were pulled over for tint, because it is something Mi police are used to citing for, chances are I will get cited unless the officer is aware or can some how confirm on the spot that window tinting is legal where my car is registered. However if ticketed since my car is registered in La my vehicle only needs to conform to La law so I could go to court and have the ticket dismissed. In your case tint is illegal where the vehicle is registered, so if you get ticketed for it in another state you have no defense for it. |

Re: Ask A Police Officer
Thanks for the quick response. I've never had any problems with it, I was just curious in case a cop gets a wild hair up his arse and decides to cite me for it.

Re: Ask A Police Officer
Since the nitrous oxide wouldn't be actually sprayed into the motor, I would assume that this doesn't apply, but I will check with the local PD (aka my neighbor) and see what he says. Thanks for the answer! Oh, and btw where did you find that literature? is there a website that you found it on or an internal PD system?

http://michie.lexisnexis.com/marylan...=main-h.htm&cp I'm not a LEO, but I'll share my .02 with you. The thing to remember is that officers have to interpret what is written in the law but that doesn't necessarily mean that it is correct or that a judge will agree. Many people think that NO2 is flammable so an officer who doesn't understand how NO2 works is very likely to issue a citation for it. You would then have to present your case to the judge and hope that you can explain it to him well enough to have the charge dismissed. |

Re: Ask A Police Officer
Say you are a cop in Delaware. Can you pull someone over with a Pennsylvania license plate for tint?

Yes. When you are traveling through a state, you are responsible for complying with all of the laws of that state, including tint. Most officers will give you a break if you are just driving through, but they don't have to. |
