What's the best way to fight a window tint ticket?

By Oregon standards, we have a legal window tint on our car. But today we got a ticket for it in Washington. How can we fight it? We bought the car from a dealership with this tint already applied. We don't go into Washington very often so we don't want to have to pay a bunch of money to redo the tint. Any thoughts?|||Find the exact same car without window tint, take a picture of it and tell them you took the tint off. If, you decide to go to court, just don't go to court in the car with the tint on it. Matter of fact, go to a tint shop get a scrap piece of tint, take the backing off of it , wrinkle it up and tear it. Show them that too. It's not a moving violation , so it's really no big deal no matter what happens.|||The laws are vastly different between the states ... It should come down to what state is the vehicle registered in? If it wears Oregon plates then all equipment should meet Oregon standards ... Washington standards would not apply. I would research the section of law involved and proved to the court that the vehicle windows meet the standard in your home state.





You should be able to beat the ticket, unless the car is registered in Washington.|||Call the phone number on your ticket and speak to someone there who can direct you to who it is you need to speak to. This does not sound right. Are you sure it's legal in Oregon? The laws are almost the same for OR. and WA. But still, if it's legal in the state in which it was licensed you shouldn't be getting a ticket from another state. This makes no sense. There must be more going on here. But, when you call you will find this out for sure.|||Get an attorney or look for the laws yourself in Oregon that say this % of window tint is legal, also go to the dealer and have them give you something that says what % percent of darkness the windows tint has. On your court date go with this Information and an attorney. Most of the time window tint from a car bought at the dealer is not that dark because the vehicles are sent all over the country, they have to be legal for their destination. The officer was probably having a bad day.|||You have to obey the laws in the state you are in, regardless of where you originally bought the car. Don't waste time or money on attorney's. You were in the wrong. Pay the very small fine of a fix it ticket and get on with your life.
