Tints too dark "apparently"

Unrestrained

New member
So I just got my RS5 about a week ago and I got pulled over today because my tints are too dark. I have 48 hours to do an inspection at the SAAQ. I have a couple of questions for those to might know anything about this.

What happens if I do not do the inspection?
Will I get pulled over by cops until they see proof of inspection/change of the tints?
 
>> What happens if I do not do the inspection?

>500 $ fine if you don't call to schedule an appointment within 48 hours.
Appointment can be in 2 weeks. As long as you called within 48h to schedule it.
if you don't the ticket will be generated automatically. No need to be caught again by the cops.
 
486$ and saaq MAY revoke your lincence (unlikely)

if he had the tint tester he would have gave you a 158$ ticket, instead you get an inspection, around 80$. You Lucky but need your tint removed before going to inspection, or you will have to go back.
 
Is your RS5 black? Do you often cross St-Laurent/Cremazie? Do you drive like an asshole on HW15 north? Hope you're not the idiot...
 
Is there any way you can take legal repercussion or protect yourself from over zealous cops.

Just because the cops thinks you're too dark, if you actually conform can you sue him for wasted time and money? Also can you use the results of 1 inspection to tell them to fuck off the next time.

Sorry to thread jack but I'm thinking of doing 70/50/35 front/rear/back (which is completely legal) but shit like this makes me reconsider.

Nope. Because if the cop believes you might be illegal, but doesn't have the tools or knowledge to confirm, he's in all his rights as an officer to send you to someone who will verify. If he was wrong, well... too bad, so sad....

Nope. Because you could've done the inspection and put illegal tints right after your appointment, therefore even if you passed, you can get sent to inspection again a few minutes later.

Yes. Yes. You read right.

This depends on how much of a prick the cop is, but my experience says they're all mostly dicks since they're job is to collect money at this point.

The same way someone gets pulled over for an exhaust, shows an inspection paper saying it was fine, and gets a ticket or gets another inspection because you were legal at the moment of your inspection, and MAYBE illegal now.




Food for thought on how fucked up the system is.

Like I think I told you by PM a while ago.... Just avoid all mods that can possibly get you pulled over and waste your time. Peace of mind and your butthole doesn't tighten everytime you see a cop nearby.

Just be advised that stock.. your car probably has OEM tint in the window so you could be already around 25%
