Two months man and already got a ticket!!

I was driving the other day, in normal street traffic going maybe 15mph, and I see a cop going the opposite way. After a few blocks in, I look in my rear view mirror to see the cop busting a U turn to go in the same direction as me. At this point im like okay nothing to panic, theres a few cars behind me and the cop was behind them. So Im rolling down a few more blocks and I notice he was still there. Then im like *** it let me make a left somewhere and see what happens.

Few seconds later, bam! the cop also make a left and he's now right directly behind me. At that point I already knew it was a matter of time before those shiny lights turn on and telling me to pull to the side. Which of coarse happens a minute later.

Well turns out I got a ticket for tinted windows. I explained that i just bought the car, showed him the paper work, but the ***** still ticketed me. Thats 100 bucks down the drain for nothing. Thank you so much officer **** face.

So now im going to make plans this weeked to detint my windows, and probably go with a lighter shade, but thats a different story.

Anyways I gotta know, are 997tt ticket magnets??

How long did it take for some of you before you got a ticket? Just curious.

 

I think they can attract attention - Can't really speak for NY, but in Texas Porsches are fairly common and i have avoided most of that unwanted attention from Johnny law...

I haven't had any trouble at all and i don't even have a front plate which is required here in TX.

Think you may have just caught a guy on a bad day or you were doing something that caught his attention and he felt like knocking you down a peg... sorry about your luck!

 

I definitely wasnt doing anything to break the law. Infact we were in bumper to bumper traffic.

There are fewer here so i guess it caught his attention.
Cop, "oh look a 911turbo, dont see much of those around here, and look at that, he's got tinted windows, lets get'em"

 

Is your car red or yellow?

 

White, which ofcoarse made the tints look even darker then they were.

 

Good point on the contrast. Sorry for the bad day.

 

Likewise, I'm in TX and have never gotten a ticket in any of my P-cars before, let alone even pulled over.. ( 987c cayman, 997s, and 997tt)

Certainly can't say that of my trusty old Saab 900 turbo..

 

Funny, i had a red bmw m3 with the same dark tints and was never pulled over in the years i had it.

 

A pig is a pig and nothing but a glorified tax collector with a license to kill.
At least he didn't shoot you.

 

I got one of those tinted window tickets ,so i spent the time peeling it off which was a real pia & went to get it signed off as its a fixit ticket in SoCal & the officer didn't even come outside to see if i was removed he just signed it off.

 

I get pulled over quite often in the white tt, not so much in my silver santa-fe, so yes

Last time it happened, the officer asked "do you know why i stopped you?" I almost said "yes, because I drive a white 911"

 

Congratulations on making the most ignorant comment ever posted.

 

I've been pulled over twice, once for speeding on the NJ turnpike which I successfully had dismissed in court and the other time 5 of us (997TT's) were pulled over during a "spirited" run through Bear Mountain...officers gave us a warning!

In my experience cops usually only pull you over if you've done something wrong (it may be minor but it's still wrong). I've got 35% tints on my TTS and I know it's not legal in NJ. I've driven past numerous officers who haven't bothered to pull me over but it only takes one (a strictly 'by-the-book' type or in a bad mood). Either way, I know tints (front seats) are not legal but I did it anyway for privacy reasons and shade/temp control. If I get a ticket for tints, I will likely be pissed but honestly it's my fault not the officer's.

 

just mail in a receipt with the ticket pay the surcharge ...

 

$hlit happens. I almost got a ticket for no front plate.
