bingo. Listen, if you're gonna get a ticket, you're going to get a ticket. They could just as easily pull you over for doing 4 mph over the limit or something silly. If they want to pull you, they will. If you pass him with rolled up windows, then he walks up to your vehicle after pulling you over only to have you tell him "weird, now it's broken"...you're just gonna piss him off.

Tint your windows, take your chances, if you see a police vehicle up ahead, roll down your front windows if you want. Drive like a normal person and generally they'll leave you alone. If you do get pulled, roll them down, turn the interior lights on if it's dark out, and leave your hands on the steering wheel in plain site, and be polite. This puts the officer at ease, and gives you the best chance of being let go.
