You could switch the plates on your cars and bring the SE to show them and get out of it! Sounds crazy but it just might work. I never had this problem in Florida and I had 3%, yes T-H-R-E-E percent limo tint.[/b]
In defense of the Cops...
I know four cops in the town I live/grew up in. Two of which I've known my whole life. Through them, I've met a bunch of other cops. I used to think all cops were a$$holes too...before I got to know some of them socially. Trust me, cops party harder than most people. I think 80% of the cops out there are regular guys doing a mostly boring, sometimes dangerous job. The other 20% are just pricks that get off on throwing their authority around and screwing people over every chance they get. The 20% give a bad reputation to the rest of them.
As far as the tint issue goes, aside from it being the Law, it's a safety issue for the cops and for the passengers. The cops don't want to walk up to a car they just pulled over and not be able to see if the occupants are pulling a gun on them. They also want to be able to see if a passenger is being held in the car against their will (ridnapping). One of my best buds & his fiancee (also a cop) have huge issues with illegal tint. I hear about it whenever we go out drinking, so I know exactly where they're coming from.
Most cops are good guys and will give you a break if you're just courteous and respectful to them. Some cops (the minority) are pricks and you're screwed no matter how you act.
Ok, that's was more than just my $.02, but I needed to stick up fo my buds.
