[QUOTE="silver03svt, post: 14177571, member: 107540"] Okay, answering your questions as a 15 year veteran of the VA State Police. Front plate.... get one from Craig's Custom Brackets. [url]www.ccmustangbrackets.com[/url] Mount it on the car and take a photo of it, print photo out and carry it to court. Tint.... take photo of windows up with tint on, then a photo with the windows up and tint removed. Print and take both photos to court. In VA, tint on front side windows cannot be lower than 50%, and statute allows a 7% leeway, so, 42% or lower, you get a ticket. Exhaust.... this can be tricky. State law say NO vehicle can be equipped with a muffler that emits more noise than the vehicle's factory muffler. An exhaust system will pass emissions and inspection without mufflers or with aftermarket mufflers bc the system, by inspection, is only required to be in good order without any leaks or defects. State law does NOT give any type of decibel level to stay under. You also cannot be made to rev your engine in order for an officer to measure, by any means, your exhaust decibels. Not sure if you are running stock exhaust or not on your car, but some type of proof would be needed in court for that also. All this being said, in court, you can plead guilty, not guilty, or no contest in VA. If you plead guilty to any, then the judge will find you guilty, regardless of your evidence. If you plead not guilty, then it will be up to the officer to prove your guilt AND you will have the opportunity to ask the officer questions after he testifies. You will also be able to present your evidence to the judge. If you plead no contest, it is like a middle of the road stance between the two, and you should have the opportunity to present your evidence. PAY ATTENTION to the judge's speech at the beginning of court! He/she will usually give out more specific details on how that particular court is run. If you have any other questions, PM me. [/QUOTE]
