ahemLou, if you get a cite for that windshield just let me know
j/k
Another item that has changed is who can sign off now. In 2000 my son got a tinted window ticket (only been tinted 8 years) by CHP in Bakersfield. He found out that to fix it and pay the ~$20 he would have to drive back to Bakersfield. The CHP on OC could not sign it off. The option was to not remove the tint and pay $100+.
Again, its the money.
