Default Just Got Pulled Over for My Window Tint and No Front Plate...

Yeah so I've never been pulled over for this before, then today it happened. Luckily the cop let me off with a warning for both. I guess I'll put my front plate on although it looks like crap. Missouri's plates are ugly as hell. But my window tint is 15% and he told me to go get 35%. Screw that! That's a hassle. See here's my plan... I noticed that when they stick that little light reader thing on your window, it only reads like the top 2 inches of tint on the window, so why not have a strip of 35% at the top of both windows??? Do you think they would notice that?

i just got pulled for the not having the plate on the front. i had it in the front window. he let me go with a warning too. as for the tint thing. ive never had them use the meeter, everytime they just told me it was too dark. in theory it sounds like it would work. but you dont want to **** of the cop by trying to trick him. meet him half way and go 20%

35% on the front sides is legal in missouri. Go with 5 % on the back windows. I wish could have gone 5% all the way around.

you're lucky... Cali won't allow any tint in the front windows and the violation is no longer a fx-it ticket... i only have 5% on the rear windows right now... buti wish i can get some 35%'s on the front side windows...

Yeah, some of Illinois laws suck! Ive noticed that people put 5% tint on the back and backk sides, then they put a really really light layer of tint on the front sides and it makes it look as if there isnt tint.

bro i feel you, Delaware is the same way. actually 90% of light has to get thru, but whats the point?! you wouldnt see that...but it might be better than straight UV light.

Stupid Mid-Atlantic rules.

MD has the same rules...no tint allowed in the front windows and windshield.
