Default The Man got me tonight....

Puling out of the zone, a cop u turns on me, and pulls me over into a dark parking lot, with no lights or anything. Tells me my window tint is to dark, did not check it or anything! I told him its pitch black out here how can u tell? Didnt give me an answer, lol. But his squad car is jet black with blacked out windows I'm not stripping my tint, gonna pay the fine....

That is pretty surprising. I have never had a problem with tint here in TN.

my buddy has 5% on his F250 and he got ticketed a few months ago and just paid it and left it like you are planning to do. His was 90 bucks i believe. Think it was a 30 dollar fine but then it was about another 60 with court costs

my tint is actually legal but a cop tried to ticket me for illegal tint about 6 months ago, i pulled the receipt out of the center console and he forgot all about it, then said he got me for speeding and gave me that ticket and a ticket for having the wrong address on my liscense.

If he didn't use a light meter to prove your tint is illegal then you can get out of it. At least that's how it works around here.
