The bastage pulled me over for tint, wrote me a ticket, let me drive a
block, Pulled me over AGAIN, Wrote me a second ticket, and lectured me
on how the "unsafe operation of a vehicle with obstructed windows was a
serious safety hazard" He gave me a choice - razorblade it off or get
towed. Since it was a home-tint job I chose the razorblade route..
That was the only thing I got pulled over for, and the only tickets
issued. I got the feeling he was fishing for a DUI, but since I don't
drink...
