on truck I also told him I've been stopped by cops , highway patrols
in Canada and Us but they only wanted to take pictures because
they loved the truck. He said he couldn't care less remove tint or else.
He impounded the trailer breakaway didn't work, he had tow truck haul
it away basically get the hell out of dodge with Alberta plates I could
go on but once a mean cop always a mean cop

tinting isn't allowed on front side windows, seems like a legit stop

So now I'm waiting for the garage in Clearwater to fix trailer 2nd day waiting

It's a safety thing (the tint on drivers and passengers sides). It wont shatter as designed if its covered in tint and stay in shard like pieces.

I'm sure its a nice truck, but I think there is more to this story.

Rules vs Laws.
Seems a little unfair to attack the window tint but it is a law.
Breakaway, well that's the law and I wouldn't want to meet any truck without the breakaway failing if it actually broke away...IMO.
Tough break.

So your mad cuz???? I don't get it. It's against the law to have tinted windows and really you never tested you break away when you hooked onto your trailer!!!! Thats kind of an important part dontcha think???? In my opinion the cop only did his job.

I ran dark tint on my mustang for years. Finally got caught one day. Chitty, but the law is the law....told me if he saw me with it still on the next day my ride would be impounded! As for the breakaway, that's just a safety issue and it's pretty stupid to not run one in proper working order! It really has nothing to with the plates bud!

 

[polarisdragon800]

People are getting so used to cops giving them a break and letting them go easy as in being nice, that when a cop enforces the law it's such a surprise..

 

[whoDEANie]

I don't get it. It's not like he seized your weed or anything.

The window tint is illegal because the police cant see whats happening in the vehicle, therefore they cant tell if there is anything illiegal. And they cant see in for thier own saftey on what they are approaching. They can write two tickets in alberta... Attempt to disguise interior of vehicle.... 158 dollars, or illegal window film on driver or passenger windows... 57 dollars. They only way they can make you rip it off is if they have already given you a "have work order" on a white peice of paper and you havent got that done and checked back in... otherwise they are liable for destruction of personal property.

thats what I have heard anyway.............................

And you came here looking for sympathy?

 

[intmid8or!]

I owe an apology, after re reading the original post I noticed that this is a LIFTED F650.
For sure the cop should have just came over to ask for a picture with a truck

Hey... Im not agreeing. Trust me. I had to remove the tint off my car and my truck... and my new truck... And my headlight covers... and my tailight covers.. and just last week apperently I now have to install mudflaps and change my headlights.

 

[rgashkei]

I know it is illegal and have heard the safety thing before, makes sense. Just wondering why it is Ok in a place like Nevada. Go to Vegas and pretty much every vehicle has tinted windows, probably because of the heat. Is that a tint in the window and not added after? Just wondering.

Riding in valemount this weekend had a great time
Decided to head to kelowna with truck and trailer to
meet my wife so we could ski for a couple days
any way get to little fort for a coffee cop comes over
asked the usual I gave him what he wanted tells me truck
is not legal, I'm driving a lifted f 650 rips the ch!t out of me
makes me rip the tint off right there , I asked him if he was

it away basically get the hell out of dodge with Alberta plates I could
go on but once a mean cop always a mean cop

I am suspecting the cop wasnt the one with the ego.

 

[markoo]

So you think because you drive a lifted f650 you don't have to obey the law? The cop is not the one with the ego here. He's doing his job. You're the one who is driving illegally and obviously unsafe to be on the road.
