Pay yuh ticket.

Section 23 1(d) of the Motor Vehicles and Road Transportation Act Chapter 48:50 states that it is an offence to have a vehicle windshield or window so tinted or darkened that it obscures the view of inside the vehicle from the outside.
No tint percentage figures quoted, because different variables will affect how hard it is to see inside. (Interior colour, time of day, etc etc)
If you take the chance to contest and the magistrate sides with the officer, you might get hit with a higher fine (subject to correction?)

Good luck with that angle now.

Its OK to return without evidence / a witness because most likely the officer will be absent again. After a few adjournments due to the officer's absenteeism, you will not hear your name called as expected and this will most likely mean that your case has been dismissed which can be confirmed by the ticket clerk.
Court dates are not worth the time unless you really cannot afford to pay the ticket. Walk with a "receipt" detailing the tint specifications if possible on your first court date.
I have only paid one ticket (my first) in my entire life out of many. Contested all the others and they were all dismissed.

In the end the time you waste going to court you will think best you pay the ticket.

If it was a traffic warden I would have told you to pay one time.
When your matter is dismissed tell the magistrate bullseye.Call me and we go go down Villa and spend that 2 grand.
