Got pulled over today rant
From the deputy that wrote me the ticket. He told me I had 30 days to get it taken off, taken to the sheriffs station and signed off on and then take that to the Plant City courthouse to pay the fine. He said if I did not get it signed off on by the sheriffs office and just paid the fine than 2 points would be added to my license.
This is the only thing I could find backing up what he said. I don't know, I thought it had to be a moving violation as well.

The 2007 Florida Statutes
Title XXIII
MOTOR VEHICLESChapter 316
STATE UNIFORM TRAFFIC CONTROLView Entire Chapter
316.2954 Windows behind the driver; restrictions on sunscreening material.--
(1) A person shall not operate any motor vehicle on any public highway, road, or street on which vehicle any windows behind the driver are composed of, covered by, or treated with any sunscreening material, or other product or material which has the effect of making the window nontransparent or which would alter the window's color, increase its reflectivity, or reduce its light transmittance, except as specified below:
(a) Sunscreening material consisting of film which, when applied to and tested on the rear window glass of the specific motor vehicle, has a total solar reflectance of visible light of not more than 35 percent as measured on the nonfilm side and a light transmittance of at least 15 percent in the visible light range; however, sunscreening material which, when applied to and tested on the rear window glass of the specific motor vehicle, has a total solar reflectance of visible light of not more than 35 percent as measured on the nonfilm side and a light transmittance of at least 6 percent in the visible light range may be used on multipurpose passenger vehicles.
(b) Perforated sunscreening material which, when tested in conjunction with existing glazing or film material, has a total reflectance of visible light of not more than 35 percent and a light transmittance of no less than 30 percent. For those products or materials having different levels of reflectance, the highest reflectance from the product or material will be measured by dividing the area into 16 equal sections and averaging the overall reflectance. The measured reflectance of any of those sections may not exceed 50 percent.
(c) Louvered materials, if the installation of the materials does not reduce driver visibility by more than 50 percent.
(d) Privacy drapes, curtains and blinds, provided such covering is in an open and secure position when the motor vehicle is being operated on any public highway, road, or street. (2) A person shall not operate any motor vehicle upon any public highway, road, or street, on which vehicle the rear window is composed of, covered by, or treated with any material which has the effect of making the window nontransparent, unless the vehicle is equipped with side mirrors on both sides that meet the requirements of s. 316.294. (3) A violation of this section is a noncriminal traffic infraction, punishable as a nonmoving violation as provided in chapter 318.

Keeping the front windows legal will help though. They have to be able to actually MEASURE the light transmittance through the window. Which they can't do (to my knowledge) without having acess to both sides of the window at the same time. The little gauge they use slips over the edge of the window. That is something they can't accomplish on the rear windows of a mustang with their little handheld gauge. Unless it's a vert of course.
I'm working on a friend that's an officer to do that exact thing. I hear that happens all the time. Bad thing is, I drive that route everyday and I just know the same guy will probably pull me over again down the road. I love my limo tint too much to go down to the light shit. I've been driving around with limo since I was 16, now 34 and never had the 1st issue.
If the officer you know is really your friend you won't put him in a situation that he has to perjure himself and risk his whole career by lying on your ticket. Perjury is very serious for a cop. One time convicted and his whole career is done. And this does happen I've seen it. I don't think your friends career is worth the 80 dollar tint job if he gets caught lying.
It sucks you got the ticket for tint, its happened to me. Maybe the cop was just being an ass, but the fact is the tint is illegal and you knowingly took that risk when you had it installed. Just suck it up as I did and start scraping. After getting it inspected have the front windows redone.
