As some of you may know, Eastern district of AA County just had a business robbery about 20 minutes ago. How does this involve me? Read on.....
Prior to this robbery, I was pulled over by, i beleive it was Adam 3 on Fort Smallwood and Cottage Grove drive, or it mighta been Johnson road. Anyway, i look in my sidemirror and see a cop flying up in the turn lane, the same cop i had passed at a stoplight about 1 minute ago at fort smallwood and bar harbor road. Of course, he gets in behind me and the lights go on. "Great" i think to myself. What now. I pull onto Cottage grove. He gets out and starts talking to me, what are all these antennas for, blah blah. Then he gets to my tint. Now, my tint is 20%, which is obviously illegal in maryland (legal limit in maryland is 35% NET). So he goes hack to his cruiser to write me up a nice big fat juicy ticket. I dont argue none and show lots of respect, because i know its illegal. He gets out of his car and leans on his hood with his ticket notebook in hand, writing me a ticket. Then i heard the dispacher give him an incident number. "Well, i got a ticket allright" i thought to myself. Then comes the radio......he walks briskly back to my car, quickly hands me my license and registration and says "Here im giving you a warning today, ive got a robbery to go to". "THANK YOU SIR!!" i said. No ticket, no even a written warning! I quickly turn back on my scanner (I turned it off when i got pulled over just so save him the breath of telling me to) and hear that theres a robbery about 3 minutes down the road, where i came from. :shock:

Llwellyn said:my only thoughts are, if you knew the tint was illegal why didn't you modify it when you moved the vehicle into the state and registered it? I'm sure having it reduced will cost less in the long run than any tickets...
Hey Bro!!! that is all you can do is live and learn... Just Remember 1 thing and you done the correct thing::CapitalPunishment said:Yea, thats the second robbery ive been near. This recent robbery was actually a strongarm robbery to a business, in which he just reached over the counter and *tried* to grab money. It didnt really work. He was arrested later when they found his vehicle.
As for my tint, ive lived here all my life. I had the tint put on a few days before Christmas, i didnt come into the state with it like that. I know, i know. I knew the consequences and knew what i had was illegal, so i was ready to accept the consequences at any time. Thats why i didnt argue with the officer about it none. I just figured they wouldnt bother me about it. Oh well, live and learn.
Yep, Ive been saying that myself...especiallyCapitalPunishment said:Hopefully, there wont be anymore traffic stops![]()
