I don't think "We smelled marijuana in the area" is probable cause for a traffic stop, especially when both vehicles are moving opposite directions. However, in an officer's eyes. by only "cracking" the window, it makes it look like you were trying to hide something whether it be a smell, or something in the car. Not only will that piss them off, but it pretty much gaurantees they will find something to ticket you for. Being a dick is not going to get you anywhere with the police.

On the note of the ticket, you got what you deserved and you're not going to get out of it with a defense such as "the officer was profiling me." You have no video or audio evidence, and even if you did, they still weren't profiling you from what I've heard. The only way you're going to get out of paying it is if you have the tint removed and bring proof with you to court. Just try not to be a smart ass to the judge.
