You have to pay $50 to fight the ticket even if you are not found to be at fault ?

I personally dont like tent, I think it doesnt look that good, like whenever I think of tent I think of those people who drive around huge SUV's with 26" rims. But it does make it feel alot better in your car on a hot day thats for sure.

I just asked a guy from PA and he said that he is pretty sure that you dont pay the $50 if you are found not in violation. I would really like to know. Paying money to prove that you are not in violation just doesnt seem right.

i've always thought cops hate hondas with tint.
what cops would consider "raced out" hondas, tint is just a easy reason to pulll you over and hopefully ticket you for something else. I've got 35% in the back and nothing up front. I'm in cali though so cops are extra douche lol especially in race heavy areas

HAH!

In Michigan, you can get out of a ticket and still have to pay court costs. People
do it a lot to avoid moving violation points. I did it a few times in the past.
I haven't fought my more recent speeding tickets because I was guilty as sin
each time and knew the cop would show up. I have zero points right now for
the first time in years.

Cops usually expect to find someone who doesn't want to be seen when they see
tinted windows. Tinted windows suggest a few different types of people. And a
couple of those types have high warrant rates. They won't pull over a Lincoln with
some tint..but if they see some hopped up Honda with dark tint, they're thinking
"WARRANT"..or weed...or DUI. Reality.

eh not entirely true, i got pulled over in my girlfriends old mazda protege with 20% on it and i (well, she) had two options, pay 108 dollars or take the tint off within 10 days and take it to the police station and they would waive the fine. She decided to just pay the fine and keep the tint but failed to make the decision in time to pay the fine within 10 days, at which time Harrisburg sent me a letter letting me know they'd like to borrow my license for a little while.

Man I used to get pulled over almost every time I would go pick up this one friend of mine. He lived in a BAD are of town... so anytime I would go pick him up the cops would see me pull up and park for a short time and them leave, so they thought I was buying drugs. It was a major pain in the ***. I started making him walk to the end of his block.

Oh, totally, dude. They're thinking you're a guy from the suburbs
who's rolling in to buy drugs. First thought - "That guy has no business
being around here". But the sad truth is - 90% of the time, they're right.
When they see a car that obviously isn't from the area, There's usually
weed, heroin, crack or meth in it. Especially when you're any distance
from freeway exits / entrances. I've been pulled over for stuff like that
and was told straight up, "We usually find narcotics or people with
warrants during pullovers like these. Have a good night"..
