If tearing my hair out leaves me able to travel afterwards, I'll go look at the car.

Meanwhile, for the Los Angeles Court system:

Sucks to hear Serebo! So what exactly is the ticket for and why did he pull you over in the first place?

Just because you were driving a vehicle with tinted windows? I've never heard of anything that ridiculous. I bet you were burning up while he was writing up that ticket!

Yes, I wasn't speeding - just the window tint, which I still think was legal. You could easily see inside the veehicle. I told the officer it wasn't my vehicle, but he didn't care. His attitude sucked. I was

!!!! The car sold shortly after I got the ticket, and the whole thing turned into a paper chase. PITA!

According to our friends at the CHP:

Can I put after-market tinting on the windows of my vehicle?

The main requirements for legal window tinting in California are:

The windshield and front driver's side and passenger's side windows cannot receive any aftermarket tinting.
If the rear window of a vehicle is tinted, the vehicle must have outside rearview mirrors on both sides.
The law prohibits any person from driving any motor vehicle with any object or material placed, displayed, installed, affixed, or applied upon the windshield or side or rear windows, with certain limited exceptions.

However, legislation signed into law effective January 1, 1999, exempts from the above prohibition specified clear, colorless, and transparent material that is installed, affixed, or applied to the front driver and passenger side windows for the specific purpose of reducing ultraviolet rays. If, as, or when this material becomes torn, bubbled or otherwise worn, it must be removed or replaced.

I'm not a professional photographer, but in fear for my life I wanted to get some pics up.

Any of you photoshop gurus feel free to make improvements.
