Man fined $2K for heavy tint; Claims he licensed car 'like that'
He was caught with the prohibited levels of tint during a police traffic stop in Josiah’s Bay.
Addressing the court, Smith said, “the officer asked me to take it off, and I take it all off.”
He was also baffled as to the reason he was being charged with the offences as he felt he was in the safe zone because the Department of Motor Vehicles did not object to it.
He explained, “I bought it so, and it was licensed and insured like that.”
Despite his amazement, he pleaded guilty to the offences of the prohibition of tint on his right and left rear window, and the front and back windscreen last week before Magistrate Ayanna O. Baptiste-DaBreo.
The Magistrate then fined Smith $500 for each traffic violation.
The fines were to be paid immediately or spend a total of four months at Her Majesty’s Prison.
