Pulled By Police

Well i just got pulled by the police at a roadside safety check, they went all over my RRS and then gave me a ticket...for my front windows being too tinted...now there is no film on the window so that could not be removed..it is just the colour of the glass that i assume Land Rover fit. How can it be possible for it to be illegal? I even asked the copper what i could do about it....he said id have to have the windows replaced...REALLY? oh and he said it wasnt dark enough to ive me points..but still illegal....pathetic Gone but not forgotten, 2005 RRS SC first edition, BMW 2010 Z4,TVR Tamora, TVR Cerb, MERC SL 55 AMG, E46 M3, Z4, Jag S type R, Skyline R33 GTR 640 bhp, Evo FQ 400, L322 RR, X5, Lotus Esprit V8 twin turbo, Lotus Elise 135r, Nissan Murano, Honda S2000, 911, Boxster s...and a few more

This doesn't make sense Shocked

Lr vehicles comply with relevant regulations when they leave the factory - your vehicle must have been modified since then to be illegal now Confused

If it is not modified you need to contact lrcs - in fact we all do Thud Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW
