Tickets for tinted windows in NYC?
I got pulled over by two high patrol NYPD cops on 96th st in NYC and they pulled me over because they said my tints were too dark. They were going to let me free, but I had asked the cop what makes my tints illegal and he called me a wise ass and started walking away but then his partner proceeds to ask for my license and registration again and they run a test on my windows and give me 2 summons for my driver tint and passenger tint. Driver side was 16% and passenger side was 15% according to their "test". They really got me angry because of this and I am trying to do everything in my power to fight the summons and file a complain against the police officer (if possible). After they gave me my tickets I politely asked again what makes the tints illegal which was my initial question and this time the officer said 70%. However, the answer isn't 70% it's 30%...if I'm not mistaken. 1) Are these tickets correctable summons? If I change the tints can I get the judge to drop the summons? 2) Would it make sense to file a complaint against the officer who (CCRB) who essentially called me a wise ass and eventually wrote the tickets 3) What would be the best thing to do in my case?
