Anyone on here know MS State trooper J43? I don't know his name, sorry.
Anyway, of course I have limo tint on my car. To me its a show/track car, its an 03 w/ 18,000 miles. It goes no further than about 30 miles under its own propulsion at any given time. never driven in the rain or wet roads.
I like the blacked out look since its a black car.
Basically I was driving my car to my mechanic pal that lives about 30 miles away with my wife following me because i was dropping the car off to have some repairs/mods done to the IRS. So we are on hwy 589 between Belle Vue & Sumrall following my buddy to his shop when I see J43 with another car pulled over on my side of the road in a curve. We are not speeding or anything of that nature. My buddy, myself, & my wife all vere over to the left to give him plenty of room.
As soon as we pass my wife calls & says he is running back to his car. Of course i know he's coming after me, just my luck type of deal.
Well, he swirves in & out of traffic trying to catch up to me & as soon as he gets around my wife he hits the blues- at this point i was already pulling off the shoulder in a nice paved spot. Seems like a nice enough guy, maybe a little excited over giving a tint ticket but none the less he writes me a tint ticket and improper equipment ticket since my taillights have been tinted as well. He tried to write me a ticket for my smoked headlights but I pointed out the little "DOT" symbol on them and explained that they were not covers, they were complete headlight assemblies. I tried to expplain that it was a "show" car but he wasn't really listening.
So finally he wheels off and i get to my buddies house. His brother-in-law is there with the exact same tint ticket from the same trooper and basically the same story of how excited he seemed to be giving a tint ticket.
Now I hear through the grapevine from friends of friends, yada yada... that this guy has a real "thing" for sports cars. I am by no means a bad driver or a young punk with a bad attitude. I haven't even smelled a ticket in five or six years, for anything. no accidents, etc.
Does anyone know this guy? Maybe someone that could drop a line in his ear?
I don't really mind paying the ticket, I knew it was illegal when i put the tint on but like i said it looks killer and its not a DD car. just check it out here..
Do any of you guys feel where I'm coming from or should I just pay the ticket and leave it be?
Is a tint ticket considered a moving violation; thus being just cause for your insurance premiums to increase?
