exactly but you know people these days blame everyone else and a hole insurance companies would love a claim like that and would fight every which way to put me at fault and not have to pay.

lol idk, ive actually been trying to come up with a different name...but i havent really come up with anything good.

the cop was an idiot
all he said was "theyre illegal, see they have to be red just like everyone elses"

i sort of tried explaining my taillight situation to him and how they are technically legal and yadda yadda but i could tell it was aggravating him so i just kinda dropped it

Thats gay! I would have too! They have no reason really legally to give you a ticket for them if any two brake lights on your truck are visible from 500 feet.

If he is not being objective with you then you can use that on him in court. Anytime they start getting angry is bad for them.. not you. Even if you get the tickets which you will I am sure, you can just fight them off until it becomes illegal to tint your tail lights. Legal is legal, and just because he is biased towards them dont mean that him ticketing you will ever actually follow through.

Stick that reflective red tape where the line of fire thing is.

Haha thats right!

Peace officers are trained to be objective at all times. When they are not being objective then you can say that they were just ticketing you because of an emotional "ego trip" or "vandetta". That little dash cam proves it! Now that doesnt give you the right to be facetious towards him though, because remember anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law.

Looks like I did learn something in criminal justice. Who knew
