Yeah, I expect states to have tinting laws, but I would think that there would be more serious happenings in the town that would require the attention of law enforcement than to worry about someone's tint. I won't want my tax dollars going to pay someone to do that.

Exactly. Are you saying that ND cops can pull me over if I happen to be driving through the state with plates on from a state that doesn't require front plates?

We want to encourage people to visit our state, and what do we do, we have a law that allows you to be pulled over here, even if your state only requires 1 plate. Pure stupity!!!! But that's the way it is - as my post stated, it's plain and simple a way to pull you over to do FURTHER investigation.

All kidding aside, I think everyone from 1 (rear) plate states should boycott ND. Maybe their legislators will get the message.

Heading towards Overland Park monday, just past 199th street. I was going with the traffic, NOT speeding - I met a cop.. didn't think to much about it since I wasn't speeding - about 5 minutes later, I look in my rear view mirror and see flashing lights.. my first thought was I better get outta the way, maybe there's an accident up ahead.. WRONG he pulls behind me, get's out & informs me he needs to check my tint on my windows.. 
He asked if I knew what was on there... "Um.. 35% I think" He gets his little window tint checker out, & the numbers start climbing... then it stops at 12 "oh crap" I'm thinking to myself this can't be good..
"Miss, the legal tint in Kansas is 35% this is NOT LEGAL - license & insurance papers please" ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
5 minutes later he comes back with my ticket, I have to appear in court in may. I called the number on the ticket, it might be a possibility I won't have to go. The fine is $76
NEVER have I been messed with about the tint on my car... and it's been on there over 2 years. Oh well, live & learn.. I'll roll them down from now on I guess.
The rest of the week went good in Chicago thou..

I agree with you girl---just keep the windows down. I'll be getting my windows tinted to and hopefully will not have that problem--but I'll keep the windows down just to be on the safe side

That's what I'm thinking... Plus, I'm sure he wanted to make sure I had insurance. Kinda makes you think thou.. while he's giving me a ticket for my window tint, there was probably 2 drug deals or a shooting he missed out on.

Technically, in VA, equipment defects are a Secondary offense. You can't be pulled over for, tints, front plate, seatbelts, in and of itself. You would have to be pulled for a moving violation first, then cited the other offenses. Thank GOD I've run into NICE cops. When I got my ticket in Feb, I had no front plate, tints, no county sticker. And the statey, didn't cite any of it, he did say, "NICE CAR"!
