Tint not a fix-it anymore in Cali


Recommended Posts

Posted

I've had a few tint tickets in CA...the only one they were really bent about was the windshield tint. My argument was "when you air condition your house, do you leave the door open?" they fined me $112 plus court costs, I said I'll see them next time

Well, i'm gonna try to sign it off like Meade said, and pay the fine if need be. I still want to know the criteria for the officer deciding whether or not its a fix-it or pay-it. More research of these gray laws.

the officer in question may not have known...most of them don't

can you still get a dr note? my wife has bad migraine's to where she goes to the er for shots. and in the summer the brightness makes her have more. thats the only reason i really tinted the fronts. hoping to calm them down when the weather clears up.

Medical Exemption - State law does NOT allow medical exemptions that would allow you use special tint.

they would probably tell her to wear sunglasses...

thanks for looking that up :drinks: yeah she wears sunglasses just thought the tint would help more. looks like ill be taking it off. i dont need another ticket. speeding + red light tickets = 1100 in 1 month that was enough lol

You can run in a gray area ;) ;) for tinted windows. Now the law stares that you can have a shading device on the front side windows with a medical prescription. However it does also say it has to be removable and can not be used at night. My wife has a prescription for a sun shade from her dermatologist for our windows and will cover any truck that is registered in her name also. Now, all our trucks are tinted. 20% with a mylar silver reflective on my truck and a 11mil security film on her truck. Now and then we get tickets for our tint, we don't fight or even bring up the prescription. Anything we say to the officer will go in one ear and out the other. In court however, every time we have presented the judge with the DR. note our ticket has been dismissed.

laws are made to be read and twisted to fit your needs ;)

not many cars can get me to pluggin my ears but this one.......damn. I mean the first minute is ok but that thing just really starts digging deeper and deeper in your earhole till you cant stand it no more. Seems like it does it with relative ease....16 12's on 8 amps.........gotta love it. :)

Quickest way is to have a large risk of getting skin cancer and a good DR.

Our trucks have been tinted for the past 10 years, and we have only been hit with a ticket but a few times. So infrequent that I don't even think about it anymore next to a cop. I have never removed tint for a fix it ticket.

I asked my Dr. for one...he wrote an Rx for me that states I have PHOTOPHOBIA, or a sensitivity to light.
