I was on my way up to visit my friend at Hamilton in upstate New York and got pulled over by a state trooper for my tint. He was pretty nice about it and said that he would just write me up for my driver's side window. He also handed me a ticket and then a deposition. The ticket says nothing about a fine or fix-it or anything. He just told me to send in the ticket and check the box next to the guilty section. My question is this, does anybody know what the NY fine is for tint? I didn't think I could get pulled over out of state for tint . Anyways, I might be getting my eye doctor to write me a letter since I actually have very sensative eyes (my perscription is -7.50 ).

 

a friend of mine actually has a doctors note, and let me tell you he takes full advantage of that note, he has 5% all around!

 

im not positive in new york but i wouldnt send it in qulity you'll pay a fine plus goes on your record for the state of ct, a cop wanted me to do a similiar thing when i got pulled over in mass for my "altered/aftermarket exhuast" (not b/c it was too loud but becuase it wasent stock) i looked into it yeah it may only be like 70 bucks or something but it goes on your license so to that cop

 

good luck

 

I didn't think you could get tint tickets if it wasn't the state the car was reg'd in?

 

^ya me either

 

call the number and speak to someone about it or call the police station and ask them about it.

 

NY cops are the worst about this stuff. The fine could be anywhere around $40-80 I think. They usually don't give you a ticket if you are out of state but the majority of the cops here are ridiculous about tints. Where in upstate were you?

 

plead not guilty and send the doctors note with the ticket...

 

in ny, tint is a non-moving violation, so if the tint is legal in your state, then you can't be ticketed. pm me if you need more help with this.

 

It doesnt go on your license. It is an equiptment violation. If you get a ticket in NY for an equiptment violation your suppose to get a white piece of paper from the officer that states the charges are completely dropped if its repaired within 24 hours. After you take care of the violation you go to any police station or trooper barracks and show them its been fixed and its imediately dismissed without going to court.

 

the fix it part you stated is correct, however, a conviction, such as a plea of guilty does show up on your abstract. it doesn't carry points in ny, however, if your state assigns points or some other penalty for the same type of offence, it could cause a problem with your license or insurance. i'm not sure how ct treats window tint violations, so i can't advise you on that. just be careful. don't plead guilty just because it doesn't carry any points in ny. plus, imo you shouldn't have been charged in the first place.

 

now thats GANGSTA

 

I thought that the only windows that had to be a certain % was the front windows evything else could be as dark as you want in ny.

 

well I don't know bout specific laws but I'm going to call the court tomorrow. The cop jsut told me to check the box next to guilty and that's it.
