I got pulled over once because the ball that was mounted to my bumper blocked a number on my license plate.

 

Nothing yet.....sheeesh.

 

I've been pulled over once in 9 years with the same tint, just got a warning. He told me it wasn't illegal to go all as dark as I wanton the rear, and I've heard it many times from numerous people who have 5% on rears. No one has any problems.

 

I not saying anything about the Thousands of Dollars I spent paying tickets in my younger days

Now my response is Does Your Mother know your doing this??

 

So there's my truck. I bought it with the tails Slightly smoked with plastic dip. But I've already asked cops before and they said they were fine because they weren't blocking any color. And most of you are right the cop is just doing his job. It's the way he went about doing was why I called him a dick. And they look darker in the pick cause the shadow

 

And I'm in Utah.

 

still waiting for pics
Edit: fucking posted to late

 

If it's plasti-dipped just peel that crap off. Tires don't look crazy wide....hell Iive in commi-fornia and never get shit and im out probably 1 or 2" per side

 

By pulling you over so he could tell you?

 

I told a story once about the same guy break checking me on a neighborhood road (so no traffic) so I rear ended him every time he did it, basically playing footsie with our bumpers on a road without traffic. I got ROASTED about "just because someone break checks you doesn't mean you should rear end them this isn't an eye for an eye society" blah blah blah, so it doesn't hurt to clarify for the self richous Internet lawyer philosophers.

 

***too

​

 

By not askin how many coats of dip were on the lenses

 

Utah cops will pull you over for the mudflap thing, but usually only if there's something else ruffling their feathers too.
Those are some really dark taillights ... even the part that's not in the shadow.
