I hope this can be useful for some:
You don't need to talk with a cop, you have that right ...
Of course, this goes beyond been stopped b/c you have a taillight cover ..

When he pulls me over he said that when I hit the brakes to slow for the Sun Pass lane that he could not see my tail lights due to the tint covering them.
I told him he was wrong and I would prove it to him. So I looked up Florida Statue 316.221(1). I read to him that all cars must emit a red light visible from 1k feet and that no covering may be applied that restricts the visibility from 1k feet. I asked if he wanted to walk by 1k feet and determine if that is the case or if he wants to stand in front of the judge and explain himself. I then asked how the unmarked fhp dodge chargers have BLACK tail lights. He pretty much told me I was a smart ass and that I was lucky to be getting off.
I explained to him that it is sad I know the law better than him and he is a LEO.
Goes to show how quick cops are to issue tickets and how lazy they are to learn the laws the are hired to enforce.

i had them tinted with the film and once i saw this state trooper switch lanes on an empty highway and got behind me, and he was there for a little while, as soon as i pressed the break pedal, i was getting to 836E ramp he turns the lights, and what he didnt expect was for me to take the ramp at 70mph leaving him behind trying to take the turn to catch up, i punched it on the straight line and hit like 150 and set the cruise control til i got to 27th ave and got off... those cars top at 115 max so he didnt have a chance... lol retard... he got owned by an S2000...

Wow these cops must be running out of shit to do. Tinted tail lights come on! Still doesn't beat getting pulled over for doing 65 in a 65 though but close Morgan.. close!
