How did he measure the light permissivity? (sp)
What tool did he use to establish what percent your windows allow?
No tool?
No ticket.
Hre is the deal.. yer gonna spend money. You can either spend $500 on a lawyer and a fine, or spend $500 on the fine.
So fvck with em as much as you can, get a supporting deposistion, get a lwayer, waste the courts time. The more time of the cops you waste the less likely he is to write frivolous tickets in the future.

well,, you know that is the reaction..
it is normal for people to feel put off by getting a ticket..no matter if it is their fault or not. It doesn't sound like the cop was a dick though. When I first started, some of the guys actually pulled people over and scratched the tint in order to ruin it. That was 15 years ago and things have changed a bit around here from then. And one of the guys would punch holes in subs if you were pulled over for booming on the strip. It gets much worse than a meesly ticket.

human eye and flashlight...
it's not hard to measure within legal specs, the % allowed is minimal. You have the burden of proof if you feel the tint is within spec. $500 for a lawyer? The lawyers here are much more than that. $500 for the fine sounds steep especially for first offense. As far as wasting a cops time, many of us love to kick back and go to court..we get paid for it...easy work when it comes to traffic offenses. No, his best bet is one of two things. One, try to get a doctor's note to allow one to be exempt. Two, pay the ticket and remove the tint..you have to show proof of the removal which is checked off by an officer of the court or your local police station.
