Window Tint

Let’s face it many of us have gotten traffic tickets before and when the police pull you over you never know how they will feel about your window tint. Most tint is illegal and too dark and many cops will give you a ticket and fine you for it.  Others do not really care so it really depends on the area and how they fell that day. But a time will come when you will get a ticket and then they may even ask you to remove it.

So how can I beat a window tint ticket?

Well it could be hard to get out of a tint fine, but it is not impossible. There are some key points to remember to help you get out of the fine and get the ticket waived. Note: I take no responsibility to your circumstance and these tips are just my ramblings. Your choice is your own so do not hing based on what you see here.

1. Just show up to court. Many times the officer will not show up and you can just get it thrown out. So you say they will always show up on their scheduled day.  Yes that is true, so you call and say you need to reschedule your day, then plead not guilty, then ask for a trial or summary judgment ( or similar in your area).  The key here is to keep prolong the event and maybe the officer will  not show up for one of those and you win.

2. Read the ticket carefully. Did it not the right color car? Correct location? Day, time, etc.?  While these may just be small errors, if the ticket says 04 Hummer and you have a 98 Neon, then there is a problem and you could win be default that way.

3. Ask for the last time the tint meter was recalibrated and tested.  If it was a long time ago maybe the tint meter is not accurate and you could have the fine waived.

4. Just ask for forgiveness. Plead no contest and say you are going to get it removed and ramble on about buying the car with it on, you never liked the window tint, and so on.  Just try it and see if it works. They may ask you to prove when you take it off so be prepared to have your bluff called.

5.Get a lawyer. Sometimes just lawyering up can set a good example and cause the fine or ticket to be waived. Seems wrong, but if you pay $75 to save $100 then it might be worth it. Also, if you have other charges such as DUI, Speeding, reckless operation, you should get a attorney anyway. Then the tint is the least of your issues.

6. Finally, just be prepared to fight. So many people just write a check for their fine and give up. Fight for your rights.
