Anyone busted for tints in Central NJ lately?

LiKWiD335xi · 03-28-2009, 11:51 PM

Last month I was busted for tints in Freehold. I was totally shocked when the cop told me it's now a mandatory court appearance AND you have to show up with your front tints off so they can check your car. I went to court and before I could leave a cop came out and checked! WTF is going on? It was really the biggest waste of 3 hours in my life.

I've been busted probably 5 or 6 times before this in the last 5 years and just paid the $50 or w/e it was online. But now this is a complete sh*t storm and changes everything. I've NEVER heard of anyone going to court for tints. It makes me really angry

Every time I see a NJ cop with tinted fronts it bugs the hell out of me. I was going to ask the judge about it but bit my tongue. Getting my ass handed to me by a judge on top of having to go into work late and having to remove my tints the day before would of probably made my head explode lol.

This crap happening anywhere else?

Freehold is a tint nazi town.

I got one in Metuchen last month and didn't have to show up in court. The cop told me to just send in the payment.

hmmm
i think you had to go to court b.c you were stopped to many times for tints...i could be wrong
but the same thing happened to my friend..he had so many tint tickets and i guess the cop/court got tired of it so they told him to take them off

That sounds logical. I was at 20% all around with grey interior. Instead of being fully naked in the front I may go 45% all around and take my chances. They can see in perfectly fine with 45%

In few towns they do that to be complete assholes.

Just how some cops say you cant have ANY plate holder that covers the GARDEN STATE letters on the plate...
differenece between cops and pigs. LOL

They may fuck with you for having a nice car.

EVEN WITH 45%s

If you're young and drive a sporty car with dark tints. 7/10 cops who has nothing to do at that time will probably pull you over.
Most of the time they pull you over for tints and check your other stuff such as insurance and drugs in the car. LOL Tints give them a reason to pull you over. Most cops give breaks after they do that so i think taking the chance is well worth it compare to how a car looks so much better with tints.

exidisjon · 03-30-2009, 03:56 PM

Good thing I always have insurance and don't do drugs

Driving after I had my tints taken off was crappy. I hate the sun glaring in through my front windows, I felt like a vampire. The price to remove and replace is cheap where I go so that's a plus.

I tried that. Cop pulled me over anyway. What made it obvious was the fact that it was 25 degrees outside and I have my windows all the way down, lol.

i find small towns cops that have nothing better to do will always bust you but if you driving in big town where they actually have shit to do they don't care.

Yea this is so true. Thats why small towns never run out of budget.

Fort Lee and Pal Pk are small as towns and they RICH as hell. Courts are always FULL with hundreds of people.

Very true. My office is in Linden and I travel a lot for work in NYC. I never have to worry about tints in those places because there's a lot more for a cop to do than worry about tints.

You'd think they wouldn't make people take them off so they can ticket them more in the future. Government doesn't make sense

Goodfella69 · 03-30-2009, 10:53 PM
