We could understand if I was driving the car alone w/o the registered owner but he was in the car with me.
And FTR, it was a city cop, not a state cop. And sorry, even tho my b/f is a cop, he will even admit the cops in Ga are a-holes. My b/f give professional courtesy to fellow out of state cops but he says no more. He had no reason to pull us over other then a flashy car from out of state. Easy $$.

Angie, you knew your tint was illegal in both states. And the fact that your boyfriend is a deputy makes the situation that much worse. HE put illegal tint on, now take the responsibility. Good lord.

So you assumed your BF would get off the hook because he's a cop? LOL!
Good now he knows what it feels like to get screwed like a normal person!
Suck it up!

Brantley's replies have been absolutely right. Everyone of them. The OP and her boyfriend made the decision to put the illegal tint on. Now they complain when they get a ticket for it.
And worst of all, the call the officer an asshole for enforcing a law that they knowingly broke. Officers are not assholes for enforcing the law. I don't buy for a second that you didn't know how dark the windows are..... You earned the ticket and now just pay it. Good grief its an equipment violation and has no affect on anything other than your wallet.
Tint here is 50%. I put 35% on all my vehicles and it tests at 27% actual after you figure in the factory tint. 27% looks like paint compared to 50%, so I know it is a matter of time before i pay my stupid tax (ticket) too. And when that day comes, I will say thank you and pay it because I and only I earned that tag. (Officer or not......)
