Legal Question in Traffic Law in Florida

Today, I got 4 tickets from a bicycle officer

1st He said my rims are not factory. I had 24inch custom made rims and the factory was 19

2nd He said my tail lights are tinted but it's not it's a plastic cover and you can clearly see the lights.

Lastly he forgot to make me sign the ticket while he was laughing with his buddies

I am unaware of any law that limits rim size, however, you could be charged for driving an unsafe vehicle, or that your bumpers are not at the proper height. As far as the plastic cover, if it is darker then it doesn't matter if it is a plastic cover or not. As far as signing the ticket, it is not required. I would suggest you hire a traffic attorney right away in order to fight all these.
