hi, do officers that pull you over in California have any way to see prior fix-it ticket occurrences if i corrected the tint, had it signed off, and paid the fee? These steps have it removed from your record, but i still wonder if they can see it or not, or even if they can, if at that point they can't use it for any type of incrimination since it was dismissed. i got a tint ticket today, and the cop asked me if i ever removed tint from my car due to a ticket in the past. i have, and told him yes. dumb move, i know. i wasn't sure if it was something he could look up easily, so in the heat of the moment, i said yes so i wouldn't get caught in a lie. I also figured that with something as small as this, he would appreciate my honesty. nope. he got all huffy puffy, saying that he could arrest me on a misdemeanor for intentional disregarding the law after knowingly putting tint back on, while knowing it is illegal. can he do that? so, if they can't see/use prior times against me that i corrected, i'll know i can safely reply no.
