Tint/exhaust tickets in NJ
they are out for death!
i just got one today from a Freehold cop... that SOB... but the tint rule is so unnecessary. i have to appear at court next wednesday at 830 and then the judge decides how much to fine me.. hopefully hes feeling real sincere

I removed the tint off my front windows. Will I still have to pay a fine if the tint is no longer there?
When I called the lady said that the exhaust ticket will strictly be a fine. I asked her why the court appearance necessary box was checked she said not to worry about it.
Anyone else have anymore info on these topics?

That is some serious bulls**t man.
I understand the tint ticket and thats your fault.
As for the exhaust I heard your car and it is NOT that loud. I have plenty of friends with Harley's that have the stock exhaust and are much louder then your car. Would you like me to drive it to court for you (Yes I have my motorcycle license and I can ride). I would argue that to the death of me.
The Freehold cops are out to prove a point ever since that huge wreck!

so im traveling up rt 15 north... heading to a friend of mines house. driving nicely, I pass a cop that isnt shooting radar or anything just sitting there. After about 2 minutes he pulls out. I was doing perfect speed limit and had my car geared right.. soo i head into sparta, the cop follows, gets real close to me.. than i make a left.. he makes a left.. than i just give up, he was on my butt and running my plate. So i see a nice open parking lot and I pull myself over.. he gets behind me, flicks his lights. for no reason
He proceeds to walk up to my car and I say hello, nicely. He asked why i pulled over?. I told him that he was going anyway and it was a nice safe spot to do soo soo i did it. Than he asked if I was guilty of anything. I said no.. than he asked bout my license and than said my car was pretty loud. I told him I know it was and explained my 18 inch resonator and cat.. Than I pulled out my document folder with my state legislator and other information on " Loud exhausts" in NJ... We than talked.. like normal human beings. i pointed out the highlighted area's and explained decibal readers to him. He told me i was pretty smart. I was not a dick to the cop and I just had facts. Cold Hard Facts. He than asked me about going to court for this and i showed him the highlighted area stating the case will be dismissed if a decibal reading is not taken at time of summons. He did not have a decibal reader and idk cops that do. than he went to his car and ran my license.. came back after like 15 minutes with a huge smile.. and said " Wow you werent kidding about your exhaust tickets"/. I explained to him the 11 over the past 2 years and how they pretty much all woulda been dismissed if I would have known the facts than.
we than just talked a bit and I told him where i was headed. He told me to have a nice day and that was that....
So here is a word to everyone. Get your facts, Reasearch the law, dont act like a cocky bastard and You wont ever need to pull in your clutch/bog out ur car again in front of cops..

If I were to plead not guilty to the exhaust ticket based on the fact a decibel level reading wasn't taken does anyone know what will happen?
will it just be thrown out?
will they ask to perform the test there?

he means about the tint; you can be approved for tint on your front windows for medical reasons
as far as the decibel testing i doubt they would do it at the courthouse, if the cop gave you a ticket without one then I imagine the ticket would be dropped. I'd definitely try to find out the exact law on that and bring in a copy of what it says when you go

When I called the lady said that the exhaust ticket will strictly be a fine. I asked her why the court appearance necessary box was checked she said not to worry about it.
