Some of you may remember my thread on getting a permit to have tint that is illegal. For those of you who didnt see the thread, basically, i have super sensitive eyes to light, so sensitive, that the dentist has a memo on my account saying i need to wear sunglasses when getting my teeth cleaned. Now, this isnt the reason I got window tint, obviously. Got it for the look and to keep the car cooler in summer and have some privacy. I just got tired of getting stopped for window tint in all the cars i have had, its really the only thing the cops try to get me for. The last ticket i got, the officer said that I could get a prescription for tint from my doctor and take it to the highway patrol to get a special sticker and permit to have illegal window tint. So, went to my doctor, told him my condition, and he gave me a letter. It wasn't any good though because no where did it say i have a certain eye disease or condition. I just have light sensitivity. It also didnt prescribe a certain % window tint. So, i just kept the letter in my glove box just in case i got pulled over again to see if it worked.....which leads to the real point im typing this lol
Between work hours, I am coming back from that doctors office because of an appointment. I see the local cop sitting right on the city line trying to get speeders at the end of the month. This was rush hour traffic with cars all around me. I can see him eyeballing my car as it goes by, but i thought i was good cuz there was no way he could pull out, and he never did. I get stuck at a light up the hill and about 4 cars back i see what looks like the front of that crown vic cop car, but it looked blue, so i didnt worry. I get about halfway between that light and the next one when i see cop lights turn on behind me. GOD DAMNIT. I knew he was pullin me over for the windows. Guy comes up to me on passenger side, and my stupid window wouldnt roll down so i had to roll down the rear.
Cop: "I pulled you over because of your windows. They look too dark"
Me: laughing and playing it cool* "man you guys just gave me a ticket for this like 2 months ago, you just can't leave me alone can you"
Cop: "well why haven't you gotten it taken care of? this is illegal"
Me: "well im not taking it off. I have a note from my doctor for it and i have sensitive eyes to light"
Cop: "im gonna come over to your side, sit tight"
Cop: "so your doctor gave you a prescription for this?"
Me: " well, yeah, here it is right here" i pulled it outta my glovebox. At this point, the cop is dumbstruck and seemed like he didnt know what to do lol
Cop: "oh, ok, um....so he gave you this letter for your window tint heh"
Me: "yeah last cop said i could get a a letter from the doctor and it would be ok" (obviously im lying lol)
Cop: " well you have to get a permit from the highway dept. do you know this doctor well?" (im guessin he was wanting me to be dumb and say no i just met him and make it look like i just went to some random doctor, got a letter, and left)
Me: "well yeah, my whole family goes there. I'm actually just coming back from there" (i had my medicine right in the seat with me)
Cop: "how dark are your windows?"
Me: "15 front 5 in back"
Cop: "got your insurance on you?"
Me:" yep, here u go"
Cop: "okay......well.....im gonna give you a warning for it but you need to get a permit for it so we don't pull you over again. have a good day" never did he give me that yellow slip of paper for the warning so i doubt he logged it into his computer, since he never even asked for my drivers license.
As i drove off laughing, I was so impressed with myself that the letter actually worked, and got me out of a $100 window ticket. who knows, it may work again. The cop really didnt know what to do lol I mean, how many people whip out something like that when they get pulled over? Not many
Sorry this is so long, i am at work bored, and just wanted to share my success story.
