Well this kid rolls up to the red light and he had severely illegal tint on all windows. This is in, oh I don't know, November? So, my officer stops him and tells him he has a verbal warning to get the tint fixed, he gave the kid a break and said "If I see you again and the tint isn't fixed, I'm going to cite you for everything I can find wrong" lol. So, about 3 weeks later, now in December in Massachusetts (probably 15 degrees and snow on the ground...) he is literally in the same spot doing traffic. He sees a familiar car drive by him....every single window rolled down....in December....lol

Needless to say, he cited him, the kid came back the next day and showed him he got the tint fixed and my officer took back the cite. It's funny how he tried to get around it....as if all your windows rolled down in the winter isn't suspicious

I work 8 hour shifts (unless I am working overtime on top of it...) and about 50% of stops for "defective equipment" is for a tint violation. It happens quite often here...not sure if it's just a coincidence lol.
That's hilarious!!! I can't believe all the tint violations you see! It seems like the police in IA have been super lenient about tint before now. Our neighbor has 5% or less in his front windows, I swear, if he doesn't get pulled over soon I'm going to have a cow! Before this past month you could have gotten away with just about any tint. I've never seen so many cars with limo tint in the back and nothing in the front till this past month or so.
