I got pulled over for the first time for my tint being too dark from the nazi cops that live in my area. I live in a small seperate area out of town and there are cops literally everywhere. It was a $10 ticket but I went to pay it and they said I needed to show proof by a tint shop it was fixed. I really don't want to fix it and I don't mind paying a $10 fine if I get pulled over more. How do you guys handle that?

It's not $25, it might depend on county. But when my brother got a ticket on my other car, it was over a hundred something.

Phil, I thought there's no tint limit in Texas??

Nomis, I thought so too, apparently not. These cops are nazis, there is so many in such a small area that they go crazy
