so if you have tints on your car, and you show a picture without tints then they are supposed to believe you took them off?

lying in court is called perjury and it's punishable. also, what happens if the cop follows you outside when the case is over and he sees your tints plain as day? double whammy.

no, lying under oath is perjury.

if you take a pic of your car before you have tint, then bring said photo to court, you will most likely have the ticket dropped :nod:

sorry, I'm still not grasping how that would work out. I thought the same thing as Jim.
Defendant: "Sir, here is a picture of my car. As you can see, no tint on the windows."
Officer/Judge/Anyone: "This car is parked outside the courthouse right now... And the windows are still tinted. I can take a picture of that for you, if you'd like?"

:shock:

take a different car to court...

#1 reason for tint laws.

Well if this was true it should be mandatory in all states for civilian cars to only have rear windows tinted.. but its not

All cops especially town cops don't sit in their car all day. Maybe State troopers but they hide under trees when its hot lol

The suspects or detainees sit in the back of the car not in the front seat. They can have rear windows tinted only just like civilian cars

Protect equipment??? Are you serious

I personally don't care as I wouldn't really tint my side windows either way. My father served 26 years on Atlantic City Police dept and retired Capt. I just think the same rules that apply to a civilian car should apply to law enforcement cruisers.
