He had a newer SUV with illegally tinted windows and no visible tags where they were supposed to be. He taped the tags in the tinted rear window, which couldn’t be seen. So they pulled over what sure looked like a stolen vehicle with heavy tint.
He refused 17 times to exit the vehicle. They finally got him out. Took a while.
They ID’d him, told him he had a warrant. He said he neded to get something from the car, started to go back in. They told him not to. He got in and took off.
No air freshener mentioned. That was supposition on his part early on.
FWIW, I mentioned this on another thread, but that vehicle is a 2020 or 2021 Chevy Tahoe. Those come with surprisingly dark factory tint. If you google the model and look at the pictures, you’ll see what I mean. I’d wager with the factory tint, a tag likely can’t be seen through the back window particularly at night.
Over the last decade, I’ve noticed factor tints have been getting darker and darker.
