First window tint ticket...
Well, got pulled over for going 50 in a 45 yesterday 
While he had me pulled over, he wrote me up for my window tint. I think the "speeding" violation was an excuse to nail me for my tint, since I didn't get written up for a speed limit violation. Told me I had until September to remove the front tint...yeah right!
FWIW, I have 32% on the four side windows and 20% on the back windshield. Oh, and this happened in San Diego.

No big deal really, I have a connection that can sign off on my ticket. But it's a pain nontheless.

You are correct, it's a fix it ticket. Get an officer to sign off on it and mail in the ticket with a $10 check.
What sucks is that the side 32% tint isn't even that dark. It's not like I'm driving around with limo tint. And to make it worse, I was driving with my sunroof open and it was a bright sunny day.

and yeah it does suck... the cops here don't pull people over within 10 miles over the speed limit. they'd rather eat their donuts.
