As a general practice, I give what is commonly called "professional courtesy" to other LEO's. Some people (including arrogant cops) can talk themselves into a ticket. This is probably what occurred here. Would be nice if we heard the story as told by the GA cop.
In Ca, illegal tint is a correctable offense. Dismissed upon proof correction and paying a $25 fee.

+1..

this has nothing to do with her boyfriend wanting the ticket... this has everything to do with her boyfriend thinking they shouldn't get one because he was LEO. Sorry brother.. bite the bullet and move on. When I get my ticket for running 20%, I will tip my hat and I will pay. Not the cops fault... no one but MINE.

I try to extend professional courtesy to active/retired military, nurses, teachers, cops... hell I average two tickets a week.. so I extend it to almost everyone. I am not assigned to traffic, but some cops can be overly aggressive and easily walk their way into a citation. I am curious the demeanor on scene after you received the citation...

Ever wonder why trafficking and stolen vehicles are so high per the rate of your population in NY, NJ, and Cali? That law is why...

Again, with that logic, I can put a kilo in my trunk and you cannot enforce my illegal tint with my FL tag which means you cannot get my trunk...? Think outside the box, brother.

It is not a bad ticket, because it is illegal regardless of state in GA. Nor is she fighting that issue...
