Tinted Windows

So I've got window tint on my car and have had some cops give me crap about it. I carry around my NC State Inspection cert that says "Window Tint - Pass" and offer to open the windows so they can see in the car.

One cop at a license check was like "You know if you get pulled over some cop can climb in your car and pull the tint off your windows" and I laughed at him. I think if that happened I would videotape it with my phone for posting on the internet (but apparently in "free speech" America, that's illegal)

Bottom line is, cops will do anything to bust you, even giving you BS about your windows being tinted. I'm just worried about moving to a different state and it not passing inspection.

About 8 years ago I cop pulled me over at 2am for something random and did a tint check. It did not pass and he said I had to leave the car on the side of 485 betweem Rea & Johnston and remove it myselt or get it towed a tint shop. I told him I would have a wrecker pick it up asap. I jumped in the car with my buddy who was following me we went to Waffle House came back an hour later I jumped in my car and took off, the cop was waiting for me hidden off the Johnston rd. pulled me over and had my car towed.

He wouldn't let you drive it home with the windows down? Nice.

I was a punkass street racer kid. The same cop yelled at us every weekend for loitering/ setting up races. I did roll my windows down but he checked my whole car (ride height, tires, tint etc.) he also gave me a ticket for my tires. I was running slicks on the street. It was a car I usually only brought to the track.

When you're getting pulled over, roll all your windows down. Unless you've got a huge weapons cache in your backseat, you've got nothing to lose.

Yeah, I do all that stuff they say do... roll window down, turn stereo off, put your hands on the wheel, be polite... it helps. Cop got me last year for passing on the right, but I was nice and didn't argue, just fessed up and told him I was just on my way to work... let me off with a warning.

can't have any tint at all on the front windows. Asshole cop pulled me over when I had just finished tinting my TL. They weren't even really dark, nowhere near as dark as I see some vehicles, thats for sure...plus it's an older guy driving a TL....not some 18 year old driving a civic. Guy was a real prick and gave me a ticket and threatened that he would be looking for me whenever possible to make sure I took it off....or else!

ya, I broke the law and all, but he was a dick about it

I mean I already know the answer to this, but do you think that making the arguement:

"Why are you harassing an upstanding citizen about window tint when someone is being stabbed to death right now? Why did you even become a cop in the first place if your idea of enforcing the law is hassling a citizen who didn't break any serious laws instead of placing yourself in a position to make a difference?"

I mean how could a cop respond to that? I know they aren't interested in proving their worth to you, only cuffing you and maybe slamming your head to the pavement, but still. Cops wouldn't be cops if they were anywhere close to smart. There isn't another job with a bigger personal contradiction.

      The Panthers win streak is masking substandard quarterback play

      By Diehardpanth02 · Posted

      He’s been every bit as much of the problem as anyone else. You cant remove him from that fact, he is just as much part of the team and in THE most important position on the field. But this is the first season he’s seen any kind of continuity in his team and coaches. And he’s shown flashes here and there. But we do need more out of him going forward a lot more if we are going to be successful

      Bryce isn’t great and super mid. But I think can be a game manager. What do we think is out there? Daniel Jones isn’t going anywher. Mac Jones? Zach Wilson? Pickett. I’m just not sure what’s out there that is much better without having to give up a ton of capital. Rather take one more step closer to contention with our early rounders next year with FS and LB help. Make this  place where dang they got a defense and a WR1 and solid RB room. I can win with that and want to be here

      Vet QB Options - Trade/Cut/FA Edition

      AR15 is if Justin Fields was fragile and his teammates hated him. No thanks. Ya'll think you hate watching Bryce Young? Wait until your QB can't even complete a 7 yard pass over the middle, which Fields and Richardson can't do. If the draft class was better, I could absolutely see the Titans moving on from Ward already if they got the #1 pick. But so far the college QB's haven't impressed enough. They'll have flashes, but then follow it up with a very meh game. Kyler is already done in Arizona, but he has a ridiculous contract and he's basically Bryce that likes to scramble, so no thanks. If Lawrence can't produce with that team in Jacksonville, what do you think he'll do here? He's tall Bryce who can throw deep but can't make the 4th down throws and crumbles in the red zone. No thanks. I do think Canales wants to move on from Bryce, his body language says so even in wins. He treated Bryce pretty odd this week and Bryce looked checked out in the Packers game. But unless they make another risky trade, its going to be slim pickings. Basically our hopes lie in hitting early in the draft with a Mateer, Nussmeier, Beck type or finding a random backup free agent that has another gear to hit.  I think even with the draft being wishy washy, 4-5 QB's will be taken in the top 7. A lot of teams are just that desperate.
