take it from someone who has a slammed truck on 24s, work and lived right outside bad neighboorhoods, and has 1% tint. i get pulled over, yes its expected seeing as i give 100% reason at all times, even when obeying all traffic laws. i could be like the typical guy and bitch and argue and get all upset and say its stupid and not my fault... but if you drive A. something loud B. something very flashy C. something tinted stupid dark- then you SHOULD expect negative attention. 98% of the time if you get pulled over, theres a damn good reason for it. contrary to belief, officers arent here just to ruin your day for no good cause.
i grew up observing people in my family getting pulled over, usually for speeding. i saw how they reacted and how the officer reacted. they ALWAYS got cited, sometimes even given more trouble due to their attitude. and afterwards, they complained and talked about how stupid the police were and so on... this is always driving a plain, no tint vehicle in good condition (nothing suspicious or in violation at all). it clearly showed me how NOT to act. now ive had this truck for over 3 years, been pulled over prob 30 times. i know everyones going to call me an idiot, and why would i have tint like that and so on but- ive been very sick and thats one main reason for my tint. anyways, obviously the approaching officer cant see anything, and its a suspicious looking vehicle (so ive been told lol). almost every time their gun is drawn while approaching. i have no record, plates and all are clean. i am the first and only owner of the vehicle. but like said above, how would you like to walk up on something you cant see in and its occupants more than usually hate what you stand for and do. soon as i stop, all the windows go down, i keep my hands on the wheel after turning the truck off. when they approach, because i am the farthest thing from scary, the guns go away almost instantly. from there on, its up to me- if i have a bad attitude, and show disrespect, you can almost count on a search and a multitude of non-moving violations. now if i choose to understand that this is pretty much all my fault (as with most all stops foir anyone), and show respect that they are just doing their job, i dont get any. i am known in the community down here, and after they check everything (sometimes after just talking for a minute) i am free to go. as soon as i interact cooperatively and respectfully, they do the same. they dont know you, and have no reason to trust you. all my point is, its all about how you carry yourself. sometimes your getting cited no matter what, but it doesnt hurt to always show proper respect. also, since i prob have the darkest tinted thing here, from experience from all types of law enforcement- its NEVER a good idea to reach anywhere, for anything until asked to do so. down here if you did that youd be out of the car before you could get your registration.
