Q: I was cited 2 civil infractions by a cop who got upset when questioned why I was pulled over Should I request a hearing
I pulled up to a red stop light noticed an officer standing outside a squad car at a gas station. That officer looked in my direction. I noticed the officer hurriedly get into the passenger side of their vehicle. I really didn't think nothing of it. My light turned green so I proceeded on my way. 7 blocks up the road I looked in the rear view mirror & noticed a car maneuvering it's way around 3 cars in traffic behind me the car was coming up fast it's not until they turned on their lights that I realized that it was the same cops that I'd seen 3 min. earlier. After disclosing that I was a CPL holder & I was carrying my firearm I gave them my info. I then asked why was I stopped the cop told me it was because window tint is illegal & mines was to dark in his opinion. I expressed to him that my tint was not illegal & you could see directly into my vehicle. During our exchange of words he got irate told me if i didn't SHUT UP he'd write me up another 1 cause it LOOKED LIKE I was speeding
