Sometimes showing respect will help I was with a 22 year old that got pulled over doing 100 in a 65 and managed to get away with a verbal warning by being respectful and getting extremely lucky for getting a cool state trooper I have no doubt that if he acted like a 5 year old he would have been arrested
Go back and read ALL of the comments. Yes, a few people were telling him he should have rolled them down so they wouldn't see the tint, but there were also a bunch saying that "he was just being a smart ass" and "you should have just rolled it down when he asked."

Yes I know being respectful will go far. You catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar, as they say. None the less, IT IS HIS RIGHT to only crack the window enough to communicate with the officers. Telling him that he should have rolled them down all the way instead, is telling him he should give up his rights and is UNAMERICAN.
