Default Re: tinted windows what % tint

i had 3 options:
1- pay ticket, no points $76.00 (i did this one)
2- remove tint, have police officer sign off and pay a $9.00 fix-it warning
3- go to court and fight it

When i got the ticket i was speeding. The cop came up to my window, but i opened the door instead of rolling my window down cause i just had the windows tinted 2 days prior. He didnt like me opening the door, so i told him why and he went an got his light meter from the squad car. You install the window edge between the 2 points on the meter and it gives a reading. Like kurtis said in an earlier post, the meter kept flipping between 0 and 1%. he opted to give me a tint ticket instead of a speeding ticket which was cool. Had i not been speeding, i doubt i would have gotten pulled over strictly for tint, but now when i see a cop i do drop both windows real quick-just in case.
