Non-correctable tint ticket?
I was pulled over about 2 hours away from my house in SoCal...I was driving up to Big Bear and there was a CHP officer parked on the side of the road. I was obeying the speed limit but he decided to light me up anyway...gave me a tint and no license plate ticket but he marked them both non-correctable. I didn't notice it until I got home...any suggestions? This is my first ticket...I'm totally in the dark. I know it doesn't affect my insurance...but I don't have time to drive two hours to go to court in a different county nor do I have time to have it removed. One of my buddies works at a tint shop...so removing/reapplying isn't the issue. Should I:
a) Ask to have the ticket made correctable, have it removed, signed off, then re-applied? I don't get hassled in my area for it...just this one time I drove to Big Bear. Also, like I said before...I'm not worried about paying for removal/reapplying it.
or
b) Just pay the fine and get on with life...
I would think that if I were able to get it to be correctable, I would only pay like a $10 court fee to have it signed off...can anyone else chime in on this? If you have any other suggestions, please let me know. Thanks!

Neither is a moving violation, so no insurance points, or them even finding out about it. That's just the state/city's way of making money to pay themselves. Just pay the fine for the tint and move on. The plate you could fix though. Usually if you take it to the courthouse, or the CHP office they will mark it as corrected and dismiss it.

Contest the ticket via mail. Request to move for a dismissal based upon the in-accuracy of the citation...and point out "for example, the officer said that my tint was non-correctable!?!?" "Based upon the that gross in-accuracy, it would make any reasonable citizen (myself included), question the validity of the citatition in it's totatlity." If you loose, then peel the tint and pay the $20.00 or so bucks... my $.02 If you have any questions, feel free and pm me..

They can stop you for tint in Cali? As far as I know they can't do that here in WA. They can only write you up for that if they already stopped you for something else. BTW I have 15% tint on all windows and no front license plate. Already been stopped for speeding once...didn't get written up for the tint or the plate. I'm not gonna put the plate on unless it starts becoming a real problem...don't wanna drill holes in my beautiful car! And as far as the tint goes, I'd rather just pay the fine if I do end up getting fined...it doesn't affect insurance so i could give a rat's a$$.

"Plead not guilty. Your Honor"
Doesn't matter how good your writing is, nor how many evidence you got to prove you are right, once the police reply to you TBD, then you are certainly lose, so just write I plead not guilty and pray god is on your side
Good luck !! (I am still fighting my BS ticket, and I am praying everyday
)
