It's been about 7 years since I had a tinted window ticket, unfortunately just got one tonight.
It's for the front driver's and passenger side windows being tinted. Not for speeding or any other reason to be pulled over. Was heading southbound on Shaganappi. and was several car lengths behind the officer. Made the turn onto the overpass to merge onto Crowchild South (right turning late) and the officer was in the left lane to circle back up to Shaganappi North. Pulled me over as I was existing the ramp to get onto Crowchild by crossing 3 lanes of traffic and darting in front of other cars. Ironically, the vehicle I was beside at the lights was a F150 w/ tinted front windows too, but not sure why that guy wasn't pulled over as well.
The last time I had the ticket, I went to the JoP to get the ticket reduced, but that was it.
Curious to know if anyone has successfully fought and won, and under what grounds?
The officer's reasoning for not allowing tint in the front windows was "the tint" would keep the glass together in a roll-over which would make it impossible to extract you from the vehicle. Personally I think this is a bs reason, as it should actually be easier to remove the glass without injuring someone if it was in one piece.
