Officer, my shrink told me that for my stress and anxiety that I am allowed to assault others to vent my frustrations as a therapeutic procedure. He gave me this note.
Seriously though, you can have accommodations of some disabilities such as hand controls in a car which do not represent a danger to others the way dark tinted windows do at night.
What ever the situation, don't use youtube or the internet in general as your sole source of legal info.

Most cops wont write you up for 5 over, its bad for community relations because everyone drives 5 over, including cops. Something else was up for you to get tagged. I drive pretty aggressively but I'm carefull about when and where. I dont get many tickets, and the few that I've gotten I really cant blame anyone but me for. In my experience, cops are more likely to give me a break and cite me for less than they could have than nail me for something petty like 5 mph over.

Just an update for those interested;
Removed the tint and got the fix it ticket signed off.
Fought the ticket in court and judge dismissed the fine. He reprimanded the CHP for "wasting the courts time with trivial matters"

Every DA and Judge and Public Defender for that matter, assumes the five over is a break the cop is giving the violator and that in reality the violator was going faster than what it reads on the citation. Every cop hates tinted windows. Try making a traffic stop at night and approaching a tinted window car. When they can't see inside they get nervous. Cops don't like being nervous on car stops. A written five over ticket is traffic school eligible IF you haven't had TS in the last 18 months. It will cost for the fine, admin fees and whatever the TS charges but it won't go on your DMV record and thus your Ins Co won't know about it. The tint problem is easily solved, remove it and the fine goes waaaay down.
