Just got pulled over for tinted windows, cop said he could not see me, and in PA you not allowed to tint below 70% I have 30%.
My tint is very light and it is not a first time I tint. He said to take off tint or he will site me every time he sees me.
Any ideas how to fight this?

As far as I knew any window tint that isn't on cargo area windows is illegal in PA.
The cop knows your car and he'll pull you over again.
Leaving the sunshade open on your sunroof might help you with the next cop, but I don't think it will help you with the last one.
Sorry.

Just curious - how old are you guys that cops act this way to you?

My Ride: E60
Cops here in Taiwan don't seem to bother with tint that much, they're busy with laser guns! LOL
On the way to work, I just passed FOUR cops shooting lasers -- My detector was too noisy today. I dunno what it is but it seems that the past few days, I've come across over 2 dozen laser spots on the 2nd Freeway....
Yeah, that and also checkpoints for DUI's... Never had a problem and my car is tinted beyond help! LOL Nothing can be seen.

I think it's a alpine white BMW is what did it, this is my 3rd ticket in 8 month, it's some kind of profiling

I had 5% limo tints for 2 months, and now I have 15% and have never been pulled over. I think legal limit here is 30% in the front. You've got some bad luck brother
Just roll down the windows or open your sunroof when you see a cop! That's what I do most of the time.
