Passing State Inspection - Tint

[gryphon1231]

Here I am reading thru the 1st 2 pages of this thread thinking the same thing. Took until the 3rd page for the easy solution. That 1st registration in FL will cost you a pretty penny but after that it's pretty cheap.

Not nearly as much as it will cost to register it in NY. FL is way cheaper than NY.

What is this thread about ? Who is inspecting your car ? Is this some sort of government thing , or this the dealer and a curtesy ? I’ve never heard of it.

I'm with you, I'm in California and never heard of a vehicle inspection, now we do have smog checks every 4 years through ?

Hopefully you are not serious. That's a bad road to go down, declaring general activities a "privilege". As if we're children allowed a privilege by some authority figure. Start declaring things privileges, and see where that gets us in terms of freedoms.

You have a right to travel and move about freely.

The operation of a motor vehicle upon a public way, is a privilege regulated by law, to make sure only those who are old enough, healthy enough, and trust worthy enough, do it.

This isn’t just my opinion... it’s also the opinion of the United States Supreme Court. You can file any complaints with them.

Learn something new every day. Up until this thread, the concept of the government being able to crawl around in your car without a warrant was alien to me. Never heard of it, but sounds like plenty of you submit to it, so I guess you are not making it up.

It still seems to me like a government agent plugging into your OBD port, while the government inspector is being watched on a live webcam by another government official is some really totalitarIan stuff.

Montana is very much a libertarian state. Each person gets to decide how to live their life. I like it here and can’t imagine living in the places you are describing.

I live in FL. There is no inspection. But I wish there was.

I have seen cars with completely shot struts bouncing up and down on the highway. I have seen cars missing the entire front, including headlights. I'm talking just seeing a radiator coming down the road at you.

It's about the safety of others on the road sometimes.

This isn't a safety issue, but typical of the type of thing you see down here in FL with vehicle related non-compliance.

The SUV has a piece of cardboard for a license plate. It says "LOST TAG"

Did you just mic drop ?

As someone who gets to interact with sovereign citizens way more often than I’d like, I’ve had plenty of opportunities to rehearse these statements.

Also, in related news, it turns out that filing your taxes with your name written in ALL CAPS actually does not magically absolve you of your civic duties as a tax payer.

Who knew?!

(that is a real thing some people believe... does not go over well in front of the judge)

Quit picking on Florida Man. He's just looking for his lost dog.

It was in my backyard on Christmas day.

Didn't think sovereign citizens went to jamba juice ?. We have them up here too. They run through tollbooths and make right on reds where you aren't supposed , rules do not apply apparently.

They really like smoothies.

Strong Mao-Tse-chussets vibes in here.

No inspection here. Only inspection I really sweated was getting my lifted, full size 4WD into Germany. Not easy to hit all the loop holes there.

Back when this state had inspections, they were a joke. Just an excuse for the shop doing it to "adjust" your headlights and charge an extra fee. Really had nothing to do with safety.

Have you ever had to conduct a traffic stop on a vehicle in the middle of the night with tint so dark you can’t see inside? Talk about pucker factor.

I have. It's not that big of deal. Be a little more careful and light up the scene with takedowns, spotlights, and those red n blues so they don't notice your flashlight peeking in.

You're not allowed to turn right on red? That's interesting.
