hi, i have recently been pulled over by a local Arnprior opp and his reasons were for tint on my front windows (i would say borderline to dark) and his main reason was my licence plate cover. now what do i have for a licence plate cover? the cover on my plate is from a dodge dealership in Ottawa (Capital Dodge) i see them everywhere they are a clear cover with the dealerships advertising on the top and bottom covering the same amount of the plate as all dealerships licence plate frames. the only difference is that since i work for a different dealer i taped off the entire clear part of the plate and painted over that part that was already covered by the dealerships name and number (red to match my truck) the officer was completely okay with the idea of a clear cover but said the red on it was an obstruction of my plate. i tried to explain that it does not cover anymore of the plate than any standard car dealers licence plate frame but he refused to believe that. the officer did not write me a ticket but said next time he sees me in town i will get one for it. does this mean that every vehicle sold from new car dealerships with a plate frame is leaving illegally? is my cover illegal? or is the cop just picking on me? i have a long history of criminal and traffic offences and recently got my licence back but my driving record will be 100% clear of charges for 3 years in September and i dont need dumb tickets for things like this on my record as iv been looking forward to my insurance rates going back to normal. anyone else ever dealt with anything like this before? thanks in advance

Re: Dealership licence plate holders

the law says nothing about rear windows so as for knowing how many people are in the car thing it is complete bull! unless they are talking about 1 or 2 .

Re: Dealership licence plate holders

i have 30% lets 70% of light in but my rear windows and sun strip on the top of the windshield are 95% only letting 5% of light in my front windows appear much darker because of the lack of light in the vehicle due to the rest of the dark tint but there is no law other than the front windows to the left and right of the driver

Re: Dealership licence plate holders

the law is 25 years old and is so poorly written! il keep my 30% tint on my front glass and the day a judge deems it illegal is the sae day i will remove it, until then its no obstruction in my opinion and it clear how many people are in my vehicle. at least in the front! as far as any officer saying he could not tell male or female he may as well say i could not tell if you were black or white so i had to pull you over to make sure your not black!!
