First major tickets (after watching Fast+Furious)

I would think you'd be able get at least two of them dropped completely, but things are different in diff places.

If your windows are tinted too dark according to the law, that was a petty ticket, but the law is the law and that will probably go in with full effect.

If I had been dumb enough to go out racing after a movie like that (where cops should be expected-- you know it wasn't a good move on your part), I would appeal the other 2 charges.

If you have bill of sale or some paper of ownership, insurance and registration, I don't see what the problem is unless there is some EXTRA law on driving a vehicle on public roadways that I dont know about.

Also appeal the loud exhaust one. How the heck can they charge you with that? Do you not have mufflers?? I'd do a little law research b4 I entered the courtroom.

And DON'T FORGET (I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH), drive the point home about how this stupid cop (don't use those words though) made that comment about his car being an LT1 and blow it up BIG TIME. He should have not made any comment like that at all. It was very unprofessional, rude, and intimidating!

Appeal the 2, but do some research b4 you go to court. If you did not have illegal tint, then just appeal that too.

BTW, if you did screw up on all three points (are actually guilty), just pay the fines and live with a lesson learned.
