Question
So here's me,  on a Wednesday afternoon driving with my friend. I drive a 2007 silver Mitsubishi eclipse. so I was  coming around a bend came to a stop thinking that it was my turn off but it wasn't, so I carried on and another silver car came flying by me when my radar detector went off. So I look down and I believe I was going maybe 68 in a 60 zone. I'm thinking I'm ok. Remember I just practically came to a stop, and another silver car just flew by.... So, I look up there is the cop and he is already turning around towards where the other silver car was turning and so I carried on and this was my turn as well so next thing I know he waits for me to turn and stops me. (My windows were tinted quite dark).SO he walks up gives me a blade and tells me to scrape it off now or he will tow my car, also, he says he clocked me going 87..... Impossible. My friend was with me and We both know he is wrong. What are my chances and how do I deal with this.

Answer
It is always wise to fight all tickets. get statements from witness and any other useful info.
Attend the court speak with the Crown.
The charges may be reduced.
AS far as the tint goes in Ontario there are clear guidelines to how dark it can be.
