Royal Oak tint ticket

[FBODGRL]

Whether we are one of a handful of states or not it does increase officer safety. A traffic stop is the most dangerous thing and officer does, followed by domestic disturbance calls. Whether or not it is just a revenue ticket or not can be debated since technically all could be considered that.

I've never got a ticket by state police so I don't/didn't know that you pay that at the local court, but I suppose it makes sense now that I think about it.

If people act as they should at a traffic stop (windows down, dome light on if it's dark) then in no way does increase officer safety. If the vehicle is being suspicious and not following those procedures, the officer should either request back up or proceed with extra caution. Rear windows can be tinted as dark as possible. What's stopping the guy in the back from pulling an AK on the cop?

You are missing the point....no matter what the situation whether a vehicle is acting suspicious or not. A traffic stop is the most dangerous situation. Not having tint does not diminish that. It does make it easier to observe the driver, etc.

The back window and any window before the front windows that are legal for any shade tint are the most revealing parts of an interior when approaching a vehicle from behind. Unless an officer pulls in front of the vehicle to perform a traffic stop, then having tint limitations on the front doors and windshield is not going to do squat. No offense to any cop, but they decided on that profession and if it's too risky for them then they should rethink there career/future.
If we used the same rational about safety, then I feel there should be a mandatory training course for law enforcement to practice and carry out public respect when on duty.

Laws are getting out of hand, if we keep approving any law that seems like it is ok to have, then before you/we know it, everyone will be like cattle and be herded around by a "master" and rights will be forever gone.

Why do people continue to blatantly break a law and then bitch about it when they get caught and blame it on the cops? Are you all suggesting that the cops should be the ones deciding what is legal and what isn't? That's a pretty slippery slope.

I would gladly lighten up the rear windows if it allowed me to legally have front tint. All of you that are beating the "cops need safety" drum, realize that, like Beigg said, the infinitely dark rear windows cause more problems than the fronts. If you're that worried, call back up. It seems like we've got an abundance of LEOs around in most cities anyway.
