Get a lawyer.

Get a copy of the receipt for the tint purchase showing what tints you ordered.

Give it to the lawyer.

What's the point?

HOW DARK CAN WINDOW TINT BE IN NEW YORK?
Darkness of tint is measured by Visible Light Transmission percentage (VLT%). In New York, this percentage refers to percentage of visible light allowed in through the combination of film and the window.
• Windshield Non-reflective tint is allowed on the top 6 inches of the windshield.
• Front Side Windows Must allow more than 70% of light in. (or 30% total tint)
• Back Side Windows Must allow more than 70% of light in.
• Rear Window Any darkness can be used.

It's a light transmission number which includes the factory tint (yeah we have some)

Even a 25% tint film (and NOBODY here goes that light) could be illegal when combined with the factory tint (which is usually around 10%)

YOu can even see it, though it's light like most factory tints:

My point is that if you ordered a legal tint but they gave you something illegal then the shop could be held accountable for hte screw up...

Yeah the state doesn't give a ****, he's ******.. they tested him and he failed.. but if he ordered legal tints and they didn't give him legal tints then that's some shady ****..

Then again.. if someone wasn't doing 97 on 495 in NC which is known for having stricter cops than than SC.. this wouldn't be a topic on a forum..

at least i have some reading material tonight..

billydsz · 07-07-2010, 02:07 PM

Not sure what the NY laws are anymore, but in NC if you get an 80 in a 55 you are looking at a 6 months DL suspension and that's without priors.

Good luck.

ps What kind of girl trades dates for the weekend?

Honestly, you should have told the cop to put his badge and gun down; and let's find out who the real man is!!

I went with 25% and it looks just fine. PLENTY dark without getting any more attention from the cops than I need (you know, more than the usual sports car attention we already draw from them). I dont need them to have a reason to be looking at me for anything other than gaining an appreciation for a nice looking machine.

I went with 20% on my Mazda and I have to roll the damn windows down to back up because I cant see my side mirrors when its dark...maybe it was the brand of film, but I'm really happy with the 25% on the sides of the Z (back three windows and the eyebrow are 15%, and thats no problem).

Hey all, first post. I hope I don't get flamed for being an LEO myself, but the individual did cut you a big break for the unlawful speed. Down here in Florida, 30 MPH+ is mandatory court appearance; not sure about your state. Hopefully it's not a criminal traffic violation.

Following too closely - Not sure of what the statute reads for your state but it's not too promising combined with the unlawful speed.

The tint - Definitely get the receipt provided from your tint shop. Hopefully the tint meter was not calibrated and it'll be dismissed upon showing documentation.

Don't worry about being flamed for being LEO...

Quoted from the forum rules:

There are actually quite a few LEOs and future LEOs on this forum. I'm the latter, waiting for a NYPD academy invite right now, already processed, "4Q'ed" and good to go!
