So, as I was selling my GTP, and the cop pulled up and gave me a ticket for the tints while it was parked, no biggie, I thought. They`re usually $25. I finally looked at the ticket today and it was for $250! I thought it was a mistake, so I called. The cop said they raised the fine to $250 even if your not in the car. Fuckin Aye!

Could it be that high because Chicago cops are sick of fearing their lives cause they just pulled over a certain type of stereotypical car with "bad" people in it and the windows are tinted so dark they can't see inside? Put yourself in a cops shoes, would you want to pull over that stereotypical car full of stereotypical people at 3am by yourself without being able to see inside? I sure the hell wouldn't but it's their job, if they didn't pull those cars over to "check stuff out" because they were afraid, then what? Then we got a mobile version of Cabrini green (sp?) So I don't blame them to be honest... but there's two sides of a story and that's what I'm assuming their side would be? It could be a completely different reason, but I'm sure a Chicago cop would at least agree with that...

Bottom line though... stay the f-ck out of Chicago if you have tints, they're illegal, and all of you obviously know that, so don't cry when you get a ticket :dunno:

Just sayin....

That's a high fine. But everyone knows front tints are illegal and if warnings/small fines don't work then more power to'em.
If you're running front tints/no front plate then you are screaming to get pulled over...or at least giving cops a gift to pull you over.

who are you talking to, yourself?

querro69 - he seems to think that tint in the rear is an Aurora thing.

Going back to what was said earlier why are tints in the front illegal? I dont have a criminal record why cant i have tints on my car. If a cop feels unsafe roll the windows down. Its not something law abiding citizens should be punished for, thats my opinion.
