Today, I got 20% tints on my car. As I'm driving home, a cop pulls me over. I didn't want to ruin my new tint by opening my window, so I opened my door as the cop approached. He then pulled out his gun and yelled "GET ON THE FUCKING GROUND!" before I could explain. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I got pulled over by a cop. Since my window wasn't working, I opened the door, causing him to run towards me with a drawn gun. He then had a go at me with his night stick. After realizing my window was broken, he laughed and let me off with a warning. FML
Today, I got pulled over heading home from college. My car was full of my stuff from moving out, and I couldn't reach the glove box. I told the cop this, and asked if he wanted me to go around to the passenger side to get my paperwork. He agreed. When I got out of the car, he pepper sprayed me. FML
Today, I went to the police station to find out if the tint on my new car's windshield was too dark. The officer took one look, told me that windshield tints are illegal in California, and ticketed me. So much for being honest. FML
Today, I was pulled over by a cop. He asked for my license and registration, so I reached for my center console. I was then greeted with a gun to my ear because my coffee cup supposedly looked like a gun. I stepped out of my car to apologize, and I was hit with a big stick. FML
Today, I got pulled over for speeding. I started fixing my hair and unbuttoning a couple of buttons on my shirt, hoping the policeman would let me off with a warning. When he got to the car, he rolled his eyes and muttered something under his breath. I saw him walk back to the cop car gagging. FML
Today, my friend was pulled over and told to get out of the car. The officer motioned for me to get out of the car too so I reached behind me to get my shoes. He then pointed his gun at my face and frantically asked my friend if I had a gun. My friend calmly replied, "No, but shoot him anyway." FML
Today, I pulled up to a red light. My ex was in the next car, and my car's windows are so tinted that you can't see through them, so I flipped him off. I was driving my mom's car. FML
Today, I was pulled over by a motorcycle cop for speeding in a 25 MPH zone. As the cop was walking towards my car, I flicked my cigarette butt out of my window. So, the cop did me the pleasure of writing me two tickets instead of one. FML
Today, I was driving home. I desperately needed the bathroom, so I was speeding a little bit. A cop pulled me over and gave me hell. He said he'd heard my story a hundred times and didn't believe me. I couldn't hold it and ended up marinating in my own piss while he ran my plates. FML
Today, while driving I saw a police car riding along next to me. Thinking about the news recently, I decided to give him a quick thumbs up and a smile to lighten up his day. He looks back, smiles, flips on his siren, and pulls me over for not paying attention to the road. FML

i see the problem...and i also see an easy solution: a removable adhesive that says "windows have been tinted on __ day. Will only roll windows down in 2 days. Thank you." I bet no companies have thought of that to warn any cops that you're not an automatic threat!

Tint is measured backwards geographically, that is to say one man's 20% is another's 80%. I think the OP has 20% [i]blocked[/i] not 20% [i]through[/i]. Hopefully that will clear some posts up. I want to blame the traffic cop, but I can see where he's coming from. Best thing to do is to wait in the car with your hands visible, then explain that your windows don't work when the officer is there so that he knows why you're opening the door. Everyone in this forum needs to take two chill pills and a troll-B-gone tablet, apparently.

I feel really dumb right now…what does YDI stand for, and why would the police get suspicious about tinting?

#20 you make me sick. Cops HAVE to come off aggressive because they're trying to defend their lives, their partner's lives, and YOUR LIFE. You're an asshole and I hope you need a cop's assistance and don't get it one day. I know a lot of cops and they're all wonderful people. I'd like to see you do what they do, you prick.

#28, cops don't know what their walking into when they pull over a car. They could be pulling someone over for speeding, only to find out that he's driving so fast because he's fleeing a crime where he just killed 6 people. They play it save. You open your car door, you become a threat. He wasn't acting power hungry. #45, cops can say pretty much anything they want to you. And rarely will they get into trouble for it, because they're cops. Sexual harassment and racial terms are about all they can't get away with. And tinting varies state to state on what's legal. IL is not the same as AZ laws. Although, the poster's only telling us about the tinting. He vary well could have been doing something else that caused the cop to pull him over in the first place. He should have been smart enough to explain that he couldn't open the window once the cop was at his car, then he'd have permission to slowly open the door or do whatever the cop felt comfortable with him doing at the time.

#64 YDI stands for You Deserve It, and the police could be suspicious for various reasons. Tinted windows can often be associated with drug dealers and the likes, but might also be associated with street racing (but that's just a guess; however a lot of random things are associated with street racing like the model/colour of one's car, how many doors it has, so it would make sense for tinting to be connected to racing as well)

Why were you stopped? Speeding? You should have shot the cop. There is no reason for police to regulate the speeds on a highway. Infact most people can safely judge the speeds they need to be going. Its when you have stupid people speeding, and talking on their cellphone, and eating watermelon that accidents occur. I dont mean to offend any cops, my sister is a cop. i was joking about "You should have shot the cop"
