Tint Tickets
I know this sounds dramatic but I genuinely need someone to explain this to me as I recently moved to the US and still unsure of some things
I’ve recently been pulled over twice by the same cop for windshield tint. He gave me a ticket both times. I’ve always heard “nobody cares” about tint in Florida and I’ve never had any trouble except for this one cop on a motorcycle who I keep running into. I recently saw him again while driving and immediately got anxious because one of my friends told me that if you keep getting stopped for the same violation, eventually you can get arrested/jail time for “failure to comply.” I can’t find info about this anywhere and not sure if they’re just making stuff up or not.
Is that actually true in Florida? Or is illegal tint basically just a ticketable offense no matter how many times you get stopped for it?
To be clear I’m not arguing with cops, refusing tickets, missing court, etc. I’m literally just asking if repeated tint stops alone can somehow turn into a criminal thing. I can handle paying tickets, I just do NOT want to accidentally end up with something way more serious. Thank you
