illegal tint wtf

Equipment isn't speeding, they need to give you a chance to fix it. Even if you need to pay one, the judge will most likely rip the other one up.

Happened to me too with my illegal plate frame, got pulled over twice in the same night. I plead guilty to one, and told the judge I got 2 tickets in the same night for the same equipment.

He dismissed one of them, as I didn't even have a chance to correct the issue before getting another ticket.
 
Damn dude..Had you even been to court on the first tint ticket...Can they even do that?
WTH..Hawaii SUCKS!
LOL!
Sorry man...The luck just isnt on your side right now.

nope still waiting on a reply from the state on the first citation. Always towards the end of the month cops pull over anyone but this is the first year out of four years that ive ever been pulled over. What upsets me the most is that there was no reason to pull me over in the first place. Cuz I wasn't speeding or driving funny kind. Yup this sucks!
 
First citation got dismissed with prejudice............. :)

Hmm i wonder whats going to happen when i send in another letter just a week and a half later for the same thing "tint". atleast this time i actually fixed it. Now what to say about the damn recon ticket.....

Big Island. Yup definently need to visit there being i havn't been there yet..... well the airport but that doesn't count......
 
Damn Thomas. Good luck. Lemme get back to you on the recon info. The law changed a little bit this past year with regard to the height of the license late and, I believe, the height of the fog.

sounds good. Even Nate's trying to get recon. LOL me and him got a recon ticket from the same officer two days apart from each other. Both of us because of rims
 
i get recon already!!=) if you need help though just let me know.
 
I Smell bulls***... as in your 9 window story.

Why not simply offer to remove it on site, that normally what I do and the cops just seem to say **** it and leave..
 
well i heard back in like the late 80's or 90's or something, many teens were modding their cars and getting killed in huge accidents. so the recon laws were put into place. dunno i probably wasnt even alive around that time? heh..or maybe i was a baby?

heres some interesting reading xD might be a bit outdated but u can get the gist of what we go through

from what i read about other states, we're not the only ones who have it xP i.e. that loud exhaust law thats going to be passed on the mainland.

is recon just an Hawaii thing or something?

i think it is mostly an oahu thing

or at least that is the only island that they actually enforce it, i think it is in effect for all the islands but other islands cops dont really give a crap about it, recently though they were supposed to be cracking down on illegal tint, too loud exhaust and lifted trucks for tires and HID's

cops here in hawaii give a hard time sometimes...like on my street, theres this black guy in a white camaro who tags people who are just 1 mph above the speed limit...haha when i pass him, i go at 24mph xP
 
Only the County of Honolulu enforces the Recon Law as far as I know.

Damn...1 mph over gets a speeding ticket...YIKES!

And get some cool solo bike cops.
 
bump for outcome...

Yup fkn A. I hope the second one gets dismissed also along with the stupid recon ticket. Straight legal tint sucks. And so does recon I would think bigger rims with better tires would actually be safer. As for tint its not like u couldn't see in the car well now u can and everyone can see my goodies.
