It’s the end of the month, which means it’s time for the NYPD to get cracking on filling those ticket quotas which have been lying around all month.
A reader wrote to Gothamist.com that cops have been pulling over cars on the Williamsburg Bridge for the past two days to give tickets to people with tinted windshields.
In NYS front window can only be tinted to 70%, which is almost nothing. The stock tints on SUVs and minivans is around 20%. If you have that on the front windows you’ll get a ticket.
They use the tint-o-meter. You have to send a copy of a receipt showing it’s been removed within 10 days or you pay a huge fine. I think $90 per window plus $50 “surcharge” per ticket.

Hey, its about time. Its against the law and yet we see these tinted windows all over the city. So what’s the big deal? They should have been ticketed left and right all along.
