Richard,
Just for the record my experience is recent as in the last week and
happened in the state of Nebraska and that is one reason the article hit
home. Street racing is probably prevalent in my state as well but I
truly try to follow the law and know that there are bad cops that abuse
their authority as well as good ones that are just trying to enforce the
laws of the state. I just had an extremely bad experience over a minor
class V misdemeanor violation. I have decided that I will just pay the
tickets instead of removing the tint as this was my first fix it ticket
since moving to the state in 2005. The fix it ticket was given in
another city and I have never had any problems in my hometown. You
truly need to be aware of the laws in your state or you just may be in
for a big surprise when you least expect it.
Don

Life long California resident, and life long car nut here.
Even as a died in the wool car nut, it is easy to see the linked to
article
was about as far and as objective as an editorial in Pravda.
Street racing is a problem, not only in California but pretty much
everywhere else I travel to. Last time I was in Vancouver BC there had
been
several recent deaths due to street racers, and as a consequence the
police
were cracking down on the "ricers".
Here in California, tinted windows will not automatically get you a cite
and
search, as Don said. I have tinted windows on my daily driver, and I
don't
get stopped. No front plate will get you a cite here as they are
required
by law.
I can tell you that there are tons of modified cars here in California,
and
very few of them ever get tickets.
Ed, you call tell the guys on the Bugeye list that the way law here in
California is written is that there is no way in hell they can get an
exhibition of speed ticket. However they just might get an imitation of
speed ticket if they try to race.
