Last time I got pulled-over the CHP was harassing me about having my windows rolled down (like it's illegal to drive with the windows rolled down!) and warned me that any tint on the front sides are "illegal."
So, can I print something out and keep it in my car? I doubt if I print out the website screen, it'll be credible enough to keep Bacon from writing me a ticket, right?

And you can at least respect police to a certain level, and not refer to them as "Bacon".

However, you have, obviously, never been harassed by the police--e.g. betting bent over the hood of your car one block away from your son's elementary school with him in the car for driving (speed limit) with the windows rolled down, while taking your son to school!--that or maybe you are a cop, yourself.
Either way, I don't refer to all Cops as Bacon! I respect general POLICE authority and for the most part, I respect POLICE personnel. HOWEVER, those I refer to as Bacon, are a select group of "cops." I never refer to the POLICE in a negative connotation. That is why I use the term, BACON to refer to these...exceptional individuals whom happen to have a badge.
Lastly, please...don't tell me which words I can and cannot use? (The 1st Amendment notwithstanding, it's just not polite)

Secondly, though your point is a good analogy--by definition, analogy is an inherently weak argument given that one must assume...in your example that the term Bacon are to police a functional equivalent to the what the N-word means to whom ever is unfortunate enough to have that word directed at them. Truth be told, they are not equivalent. 400+ years of negative connotation directed towards a specific race (man, woman, and/or child) is not the same as a derogatory term used for certain Publicly trusted officials with the sole monopoly of the use of force and violence who misuse this monopoly. Just like calling a lazy co-worker a dirtbag. Now if I called a coworker, belonging to "X" racial category, the N-word just for simply belonging to that racial category or seemingly belonging to that racial category--all of which are socially constructed and artificial by the way, but that is another argument--is a TOTALLY different matter. As I already posted, I do not lump all persons with a uniform (I used to wear one) and a badge in the same category. I lump the persons whom abuse their trusted authority for the purpose of harassment, in a category which is not incorrect, sir.
Finally, for future reference, if you should bring up racially motivated arguments...make sure the receiving end did not co-teach Race and Ethnic Relations at a major university--which, I have.

Are you mentally challenged? I ask that as a serious question because the OP posted a link stating the laws, which can also be called facts. The fact is Indiana has different laws than Illinois. Thus, by driving 45 minutes, as I clearly stated above, I am exempt from any punishment regarding window film. So please again tell me how I "spouting off at the mouth without knowing facts". It frightens me that you are able to be a police officer as you're clearly oblivious to something so painfully obvious.

At no point during this particular post do you indicate that you make a defference between good cops/bacon... any reader would naturally assume that you were meaning all police are bacon (the way it nomally used).
1. All Cops should be Good Cops
2. We were talking about being pulled over for tint--if legal in a state, then wrongfully pulled over = bad cop.
*There was NO NEED to differentiate
later, you correcty yourself when called on it...
The "bacon" term is also socially constructed, yes? Sorry, to disagree, but that I see no solid difference in the analogy... if you go around calling certain members of a group something other than what they are... then how long is it before you refer to all the people within the group by that term, simply because you are unhappy with a slect few...
As a college professor, you should be above name calling...

Name calling? Well, no one is above name calling. Especially when they feel powerless against a megalomaniac with a 9mm and a shield and have a young son watching them being treated like a criminal--regardless of their occupation/profession.
I don't know you, but I take it you are a Cop? If so, then I ask you to be a Real Cop--a Good Cop? If my "jaded" view of particular law enforcement personnel bothers you, then as well it should! It bothers me. Set the example Officer and treat those you SERVE with respect and that term, Bacon, will NEVER be used in reference to you--at least from me. I'm just tired of using the term, "bad cop" as it is--and I hope you agree--an oxymoron and should be non-existent.

Exactly. I could be pulled over in Chicago. Given a 60 - 75 dollar ticket (Whatever the going rate is these days). Drive another 45 minutes into Indiana and police could care less about my window tint.
do I even need to point this out? you are clearly "spouting off at the mouth without knowing facts"...

This thread was created to help educate members concerning state vehicle tinting laws.
It was not intended to be a platform, where a few members can display how poorly their parents raised them.
Hopefully, the poorly raised members will be better parents to their offspring.
Prejudice and derogatory terms, usually come from the child's parents.
If you are flawed, try not to pass on your flaws to your children.

Like I stole a car or something that looks like mine, lol.
