Every time I have any encounter with the police I get all depressed and shit and don't want anything to do with my car.
:(
I was driving home today. Windows half down, doing the speed limit.. just cruising and enjoying the weather. I look behind me and I have a cop flying up on my ass. My tint is illegal and I've been pulled over for it before (still haven't got it fixed), so I figured that's what he was after... but I had my sunroof open all the way and the windows down far enough he shouldn't have been able to tell. So, I turned down a side street. He did too. I turned down another, and he did too. I headed back up the main road, and he did too. Then, I turned up a different street and he went straight but was still watching, and I looked and there was ANOTHER cop sitting there and started following me. He busted a U-Turn when this big black SUV flew by. I felt like they were ping-ponging me. I have heart problems and can't take that shit, irregular heart beat and it just does real funky stuff with my body and I was about to just bust out crying right then :(
Next week. I'm going to Tunica forspring break. When I get back, my boyfriend is FINALLY going to pay for my tattoo. My birthday present from him, lol. 2 months late, how 'bout that. AND Valentine's day. I need a new tire because my rear driver side has a broken belt, which I've been riding on since I got it (bought it that way) - Kuhmo tires with like, 80% thread. Wtf. Anddddd I guess I'll see how much it'll be to get my front windows redone. I can't take it anymore.
I'm not going to Rod Run in April. Most of the guys we were going with went ahead, and the other guy doesn't want to go anymore because everyone else already went. So that'd just leave me and my boyfriend and he don't want it to be just us. Myeehh.
I just wanted to fill ya'll in on my life the past few days. Mostly today...
I know I complained a lot. I'm a girl. And, I haven't posted in a while :rolleyes2:
So how is errbody?:heart:

no its not Vr4... if there is a tint law in that state. which apparently there is. it is probable casue to pull someone over for illegal window tint, and issue a citation.

Darkness of tint is measured by Visible Light Transmission percentage (VLT%). In Tennessee, this percentage refers to percentage of visible light allowed in through the combination of film and the window.

I know. My MX6 had darker window tint, and there are PLENTY of people riding around here with darker window tint and mirror tint, which is also illegal. I was talking to my dad about it and he was saying how they're pulling over "hot rod" cars that "Get more attention" than they are old hondas and stuff, which is what majority of it seems to be down here, lol. (in my city.) My dad used to have a SHO and he got the windows tinted, he's saying they were darker than 35% but that they were legal? I don't think he remembers lol. I see it a few times a day though on my way to school, I can prob snap a pic of it. It's nice, I miss it SO much. He got rid of it bc the engine was knocking :(
I think a big problem with why my tint looks darker is bc my interior is black and gray.

I guess when I get back from Tunica I'll see how much it'll cost to get the tint took off and redone, :(
I need a job!

Don't turn on side streets when cops are behind you.. Unless it will lead you to where you are going - or they become VERY suspicious and that alone will increase your chance of getting pulled over like 70%

They can't pull you over just for tint because thats profiling.
There is also a law on tint, therefore if it's illegal they can pull you over. Just like getting pulled over for a loud exhaust, and so many other things.

And to add to this.
Don't reach in glove compartment/purse/center console when cop walks up to car. And don't watch their every move in your mirrors. They have a tendency to get paranoid about this stuff.
**Don't ask how I know this stuff....lol

Not entirely true. A cop must have a calibrated tint meter in order to give you a ticket for tint. He cannot issue a ticket based on his own personal judgment. Obviously he can tell when a window is tinted, but the way the law is worded, if he pulls you over "for tint" without already having a meter on it, its profiling. Hard to explain, but all you need to know is that he can't pull you over for tint.

but can't he still give you a citation to have it removed even if he doesn't use a meter?

I don't know about that, he used a meter on mine. It was about 2% or whatever off, though. That's all he pulled me over for, too. He said he couldn't see me - but it WAS an extremely cloudy day and it was snowing lol.
And yes, I learned about the turning on the side streets... but see, it was a circle and I went the opposite direction than I was going before... there's quite a few different ways to get to my house lol.
Have fun finding the headlight, too Jon lol
