Is that the little device that slips over the window near the top that
gauges the tint?

You can contest the charges bases on that fact that he took so long to get
it to work... that could be construed as incompetence in operating the
device, and that any reading may not be accurate... Plus, the fact that the
officer didn't show you the reading on the device... Plus the fact that it
was near month end(quote getting time)...
That is reasonable doubt...
They might throw it out, or might require that it be rechecked...
