You can have window tint and win in court.

I know a couple friends where TVC has been able to dismiss cases.

 

WOW, Too cheap to plow the roads and then they run around giving out tickets for being somewhere you can't see that you shouldn't have been. Corrupt tax collection at it's finest right here.

 

Be sure to check as most factory windows ALREADY have some tint in them!!

 

Thanks for providing the FMCSR for this and yes (although I'd lean a bit below the 30% limit to be on the safe side).

I printed a copy of this regulation to keep in my truck for the next idiot that challenges me. I too can't find a reason to like cops.

'Bigfoot'

 

I would like to see the officer be held accountable for this but I'm also a realist. If you take it to federal court... This is what would likely happen. The Officer will evoke state actor status... this mean you will be suing the State... or Federal Gov't if the officer is a Fed... Then, the judge will look at the circumstances. and probably say.."It's and honest mistake the officer made and move for dismissal".

We MUST remember officers are human they make mistakes... WE truckers however... are held up to being perfect... ANY mistake that is found can and will cost us.

 

I had TVC for a brief time. By the time the attorney contacts TVC, then TVC contacts you, you end up paying a late fee for the citation. TVC communicates very poorly and doesn't return phone calls.

They are a scam...I can do everything they can by simply calling a local attorney.

Now back to our regularly scheduled program.

 

More in principle than anything else, unless you want to drive with a ring in your nose forever like a complacent animal.

 

30% is too dark for legal but still safe for driving day or night, all you need is a medical waiver and it becomes legal.
