New window strategy

[Monarkk]

So this new police officer by me thinks he's a hero (Not knocking the profession as I have buddies in it, however this guys just a straight power tripped dick). I had front window tint all my life and have never gotten in trouble but lately this guy has pulled me over any and every time he sees me, mind you dangerous u-turns in traffic, etc and never given me anything but a fix-it ticket from anything from tint-replacing stock license plate bulb ticket. Basically I wanna know how hard it is to install new front window glass. I want to get a new set of glass, tint those to match my backs and be able to run them and if I get in trouble just put the stock clear ones on. I really dont break laws, and have no points on my license I just love tint, it keeps my car cool, I feel safer, and I love the look so I would apreciate it to keep the "thats what you get comments to yourself" Thanks guys!

It is pretty involved so I would not want to go that route. Depending on how much he stops you, just retint after getting the ticket released.

If its that bad wire in a switch under your seat with a lot of primary wire routed to both front window switches. Then when you see him put down your windows and use the toggle swtich to cut the function of the two front windows.
So when he walks up and tries to be a dick by telling you to put them up so he can meter them tell him they are stuck down and have been like that for a while. No laws against having your windows down.

Wiring the above in will be pretty easy but you have to actually see him before he catches your windows up.

Haha thats a pretty good idea, but this guy would probably impound my truck. He pulled me over for the 2nd time after the tint ticket and he asked why I re-tinted it and I said because I wanted too, to which he replied "Smart ass huh, well lets just see how many things I can get you for" I ended up getting 8 fix-it violations and he claimed to tell me if he catches me one more time he's going to impound my truck give me a reckless driving charge and a failure to comply. And cops wonder why they have such a bad name....

Damnn he's way too serious, must not like you, guess he is one of those "FBI wannabe cops."
You may have to just comply, or try your best to pull off getting a permission for tint by getting a physician to write the DMV over there a statement that your eyes are negatively effected by the sun.

That or take allthe FIx it tickets and the other tickets and take them to the captin and ask him why his officer is given you a rought time.... They will see its only him.... Then tell them the next time you get pulled over for nothing. Your going to file a lawsuit and sue the city and offcer if he dont lay off!

Like this one, but sorry to say it wont work. I have tried it after this one cop stopped me 4 times for it. All they say is if its illegal why u do it anyways.

I think CA is the only state that doesnt even bother with the doctors note rule even thought we have prop-215 haha. And yeah this cop has a ******* for me for something I must've done to his sad little life. And to GMC Yukon, funny you said that. My old mans best friend is the sheriff for Orange County and he told me to do exactly that, to talk to his sergeant and the best part is the sergeant of his precinct is actually a nice guy and a friend of mine.

Report him for harassment. I did that with a power tripping cop by my house and he got fired. But even if he doesn't get fired, when he goes up for a promotion it will be on his permanent file. My best friend is a cop and that when he recommended I do when it happened to me. When he pulls you over roll all your windows down and do not do any suspicious and be respectful. It goes a long way. There is no reason he should be chasing you down in traffic bc of tint, and most good judges will understand that especially if your not hiding anything. I don't know where you live but that how it is in Louisiana for my experiences. Replacing the glass is more expensive and more of a hassle than taking the tint of for court and putting it back on after IMO. Robbie is a cop, he might have some suggestions for you, hopefully he chimes in. Good luck!

it's not hard to replace the front glass with tinted glass. Any competent glazier shop can cut/polish new tinted glass for you.

As said by Modded...just get a doctor's "note" and get a permit for the tint. Way easier route and FREE (at least in Mo it is)
