Wow, he threw the book at you.
If you're driving a 4 door he could have given you another ticket for rear tint though!
I got pulled over for my tinted tails when I lived up there at least 7-8 times. Every single time except for once I got a warning. The once I didn't get a warning it was a fix-it ticket. I put my stockers on, drove to the police department, got them checked and then swapped them back in their parking lot.
