20% on the front 2, 5% over stock privacy glass on the back 3. Next paycheck I'm gonna go back for 70 or 50% on the windshield with a brow.

Wish we could tint windows here
That windshield sticker and all that dark window tint, you'd have a ticket and half your civil rights violated within 10 minutes

If you don't act like an idiot cops won't bother you, out here they'll respect a nice truck.

"Cops won't.." there's a generalization if I've ever heard one.
"They'll" - again, huge generalization, there are thousands of cops in CA, I doubt you know them all.
The idea that a cop is going to 'respect' a nice vehicle that is illegally modded, meaning ignore the illegal mods, is a funny one.

If you're driving down the road with multiple violations like black tinted window and a sticker on your windshield in a state where tint is illegal, chances are yes, you're going to be pulled over. That's their job, not sure why you would assume someone has to act like an idiot for a cop to do his/her job, seems to have struck a chord with you, sorry.
Little infractions like window tint or a license plate light out (very common) are the stepping stone.

I know from experience where I'm from, dads a police captain uncles a lieutenant, I'm a cadet in the academy. 90% of cops around here drive trucks with illegal mods. I agree with you yes their infractions and could be pulled over for it. Around here they have bigger stuff to worry about than a window tint ticket

Easy guys.. Everyone has their own opinions and every state has its own laws.

Truck looks great man. They did a good job, the truck is super clean!

[sarcasmfont]I never would have assumed anyone in your family was a cop based on the attitude in the first reply. Nor would I ever have imagined that you might be a cop as well!
And that second part, about 90% of cops breaking laws without getting in trouble, that's new information to me, I've never heard of such a thing! I can't imagine that corruption exists in any police force, especially in Florida of all places![/sarcasmfont]

That quote is priceless.
Sorry that I struck such a chord with you in my first post about cops using silly things like window tint and license plate lights as a reason to pull people over an violate their civil rights, for most people that don't have the luxury of having a family of cops, while entering the police force ourselves, that's just reality.
