I never said everything was hunky dorey.

What I did say, and he admitted it, was that he lied to the court to a judge and to whomever made the final decision on his ticket. I have a problem with that. How much was the ticket going to cost $100. Big whoop. Grow up, and take responsibility for your actions.

I think the deceptive tactics ( THE LIE) sets a bad example. It's your right to fight every ticket; it is not your right to lie, decieve, or mislead the courts. That is my issue. Not that he fought the ticket. It's the method (LIE) he used to fight the ticket. There was no mistake with this ticket. He was wrong and he was written for it. He admitted to taking off the tint prior to court (decieving triers of fact) so that he could avoid the ticket and make the officer look studid.

We can't choose the laws to which we are going to abide. It's a law, he broke it. Pay the fine, remove the tint, and take responsibility for your actions.
