Well... I go to superstore today to buy my groceries, park, do my shopping... go outside after and as I walk to my car I see an undercover boxing my car and another car that happened to park beside me, giving this guy a ticket, so whatever I put my groceries in the trunk and sit in my car and wait for the cop to finish giving this guy a ticket so I can get going. He then proceeds to knock on my window telling me he's writing me up also for my tint. At this point i'm thinking like wtf? Apparently this undercover was driving around the parking lot of a god damn superstore ticketing people with tint on their front windows because I watched him to go another guy right after he finished writing me up for a non-moving ticket, just sitting in my car not even with my car running. Like what the hell? Is that even legal?  |
Well, yeah. Since it's illegal to have tint on your front windows, why wouldn't it be legal for him to give people tickets for it? It's no different than a speed trap, it's just too hard to see if someone's windows are tinted while they drive by.
Cash cow probably, but not illegal.
