Got nailed

Because if it was illegal, why do auto stores sell them? And I see quite a few people have them around town so if that many have it on their cars, how come cops don't do anything?

And I looked up for info about it and it says nothing saying that they are illegal?

First, if you look at the package when you buy those license plate covers, it says something to the effect of "Not legal in all states. Check your local laws..." As far as why they sell them? Because people keep buying them.

Dave beat me to the TCA, but I will reemphasize one part of it - "No tinted materials may be placed over a license plate even if the information upon the license plate is not concealed."

well my window tint is illegal but I'm not taking it off. I love the privacy and it looks great. I've been stopped numerous times and they have never mentioned the tint.

KB, do you guys enforce the tint laws much?

Just depends on the officer. We all have the tint meters. Personally, I won't mess with anyone except for the cars whose windows look like they're painted black. Some guys enforce it like it's going out of style. Others have never written a ticket for it.

There are a LOT of cops who won't mess with window tint or tinted license plate covers. Still doesn't make it right. I may not stop people for speeding until they hit 11 or 12 over the limit, but the people doing 10 over are still speeding.

Alright just for you and respect of other officers out there, I'll pull the cover off to save us the hassles.

However, window tint stays.

I got pulled over for going around 110 in a 55 zone. I-40 westbound at the Gallaher View exit. NO TICKET. If anyone can beat that, I'll buy you lunch.

Passing cars doing 120 in a diesel truck. Cop was coming at me, hit his lights and then turned them right back off. I never let off.

So all you gotta do is pay that and all is forgiven and forgotten?

[Guest db99wj]

Yep it is "dismissed".

You can go to court.
