Coppers annoy me! One tried to do me because the side of one of my tyre walls was pealing. They should pick on those with no tax, insurance and MOT. That tyre is still on my car and going strong

Its the law to wear a seat belt - police were doing their jobs, I dont see the problem here.

It means i'm not legally allowed to drive the car until i've been to the police station when he starts his shift at 4pm and shown him they've been removed.
Before he used the light transmission tester he said if it was 50% transmission he'd let me off with a warning, but mine came out at 23%  I was shocked, as mine are only light smoke. I said "you must get a lot worse readings than that then because mine aren't THAT bad" and he said yeah they did, once he got 3%.
He said he'd done an evo just before me, obviously targetting flash cars he can't afford
He actually told me he had a scooby, only a WRX tho, must've been jealous

The thing about last night was..
I had read that if you turned into a petrol station they aren't leagally allowed to follow you and issue you with a penalty as it's private land. Is this total bollocks then

They were pulling cars over when we were at Anfield the other week. Dickhead copper was pulling cars with factory tints on though so was only wasting his own time

The reason why they are illegal though is because idiots kept on tinting them so dark and pulling out of roundabouts in front of people. The final straw was when people started being killed. Even a light smoke is too dark if applied over an already tinted window so why is it gutting?

It's not like he has bin liners for tints though ed. That's probably why...
Same as M Suttons, he had great looking ones, but got tugged and made to remove them. They weren't that dark either.
Is only recent year or so they bought in Zero Tolerance on tints isn't it?
Saw a saxo with "Bin liner" tints getting pulled the other night though. Had to laugh

FYI Ed, I can see everything out of my windows. They look dark looking at it from the outside because the light is reflecting off them.
Maybe it's gutting because they're £250 tints and i have to pay a £30 fine? Surprised you haven't tinted your car, I wouldn't want people to see me driving that
