    If I were to drive through the US from Canada and got a tint ticket when would I have to pay it? Would I be stopped at the border back into Canada until its taken care of? Same with no front plate for that matter. Honestly why does this vary?

    I dont understand how you can get a ticket when your a "out of towner". So if I wanted to drive across country id have to rip this off and put this on to comply with each states laws as I pass through? BULL

    They will let you go if they see the vehicle is from out of state/country. If you did somehow get the biggest prick of a cop, traffic violations are not reported to the border patrol.

    ^pretty much. but they CAN give you a ticket because "you have to be aware of the laws in which ever state you travel" <-exact words a cop told me once. and like keith said it wont be reported to the candian border, but if you return to that state you could have problems.


    edit- i would say you would have about a 80% chance of the cop letting you off the hook, since your from out of town.

    No front plate is void. If Canadabob doesn't require a front plate, then you don't need one. Kansas is one of I believe eight that you do not need a front tag. They can't do jack crap about it since my state doesn't require a front plate.

    the problem with this is that i just cant get pulled over in general. i sometimes 'have fun' while im on long road trips and getting pulled over at all is bad news bears. i run a front plate, stay within a reasonable speed to the limit, and my car isnt even tinted. i hope to tint it soon, but i think im just going with 35% for a lighter, nice looking tint that i wont get hassled for.

    in case it's not known, Vans and Suv's are treated different than cars when it comes to tint in a lot of places. just a fyi
