Well,

I got cited for two fix it tickets while I was driving home on leave and need to get them signed off what is the best way to do it. I got pulled over outside of Mojave.

The first was VC 5201, I have a clear license plate cover on my car and the officer said that I cannot have it on there. It does not obstruct the plate in anyway so I find this one quite odd.

The second VC 26708A1 was for front window tint. Which is not that dark and is lighter than the front but is still not allowed. Am I better off just paying the fine for the tint. Or should I peel it off and have it re-done one shade lighter. I have never been stopped in my local area.

I was originally pulled over for speed and was given these instead! which I prefer because no points will go on my license

Thanks Dennis

 

If you've never been stopped in your local area, just leave the tint on. Remove the clear license plate cover, pay the tint fine and have your ticket signed off at a CHP station.

 

iirc u gota remove the tint inorder to get it signed off....

 

I don't even run a license plate frame because I don't want that to be something to help get me a ticket.

 

Pretty much 0 window tint is legal on the side and front windows.

 

unless you dont give a **** and have a whole lotta cash to spend on tickets so you can bypass the fix it part..

 

just get a tint guy to peel it off, get the ticket signed off, and get it the tint put back on

 

You can either pull the tint and have it signed off or pay a fine (it's like $124) and get the ticket cleared, but you're at risk for future stops. skimonkey is an expert at this - he gets pulled over for tint all the time

 

no front plate is like a $35 fine now, and its more expensive everytime... it is no longer a fix it

 

actually its legal in California for 70% on the driver and passenger side windows now.

please see CVC 26708(d)

I had front tint on my Volvo and never caught crap for it. Most cops are cool as long as they can see you pretty well. Did the cop use a tint reader, or just tell you it was too dark?

 

Sweet!!!! My tint is legal now

 

ROFL.
70% has been legal for quite sometime....

IIRC 70% is what stock windows in cars are already 'tinted' at......right?

 

I'll go ahead and call BS on this one.... Considering I just got my award last week for not having a plate.

 

my best friend just got one last week while his truck was parked in front of his house, they dont have to pull you over now. and his dad is CHP.. so
