Cleveland cops use the tinted window trick as just cause for traffic stops in downtown area every weekend. Turns into a bunch of DUI charges, etc. Easy tickets, easy revenue so the department loves it.

So you're complaining about cops stopping people for DUI? You think of DUI's as ways to generate revenue? I'd love to watch you bring those arguments to a debate about drinking and driving with a family member of someone who has lost a loved one to a drunk driver.

I believe his argument was that cops are using window tint and other meaningless "laws" to justify a reason to pull someone over and give them a third degree and rack up other charges.

Troy Smith, former Glenville football star and 2006 Heisman trophy winner, appears in Cleveland Municipal Court on multiple traffic offenses. With him is his lawyer Joe George.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Former Ohio State University quarterback Troy Smith pleaded no contest Thursday morning in Cleveland Municipal Court to traffic violations.

The former Glenville High School football standout and 2006 Heisman Trophy winner was found guilty of having an unsafe vehicle, tinted windows and no driver's license.

An open-container charge was dismissed because it involved a passenger, according to Smith's attorney, Joseph George.

Smith, 27, of Quing Mills, Mass., was stopped by Cleveland police about 9:30 p.m. Dec. 23 at West Ninth Street and Main Avenue.

He was arrested when officers discovered a warrant for Smith issued in February for driving with a suspended license and failure to appear in court. That charge was reduced to driving without an operator's license.

Judge Anita Laster Mays on Thursday fined Smith $325. He must also pay court costs, which brings the total to $697.

Smith said little in court, except to answer yes or no to the judge's few questions.
