No problem!

He would definitely have to test the windows before any ticket could be handed out. I've only had one of my cars tested and they gave me 30 days to remove it. I never did because the car came from Florida and I wasn't about to pay to have it removed. If they wanted to pay for the removal then I would have agreed. Never had issues after that.

I'm 10% below what I'm supposed to have and never had any issues so far with the Z.

Even though I hate that my own tint has to be 50/35, I still do it because it is the legal amount allowed.

This little quote kind of applies here but not completely within context so take it as it stands. When I was in the Police Academy back in 2004, a State Trooper came in and told a little story about people complaining about getting cited when an Officer didn't have his lights on or they didn't see him. His reply was simple and it shut 'em up quick. "You can't entrap an honest person." Simply put, if you are speeding, you are speeding. If you have illegal tint, you have illegal tint. How he got you for it becomes irrelevant.

No offense, but why are you complaining or angry? You DID have illegal tints and got away with a warning. Most people are relieved when they dodge a bullet.

Oh really? How he got you becomes irrelevant? I hope i can help you brush up on your constitution and bill of rights.

Youre welcome:ugh2:

35% is illegal in NY? :icon14:

That sucks man.

Haven't had any trouble (yet) here with my 15%, but then again when you're in a desert climate I think they tend to understand more why you need the darker tint. :tup:

Everything is ilegal in the Republic of VA so I dont give a crap.

I'm sure he figured out your side windows were tinted when he saw your rear side windows and back window.

A lot of cars these days come already with the Quarters and back windows tinted, that doesn't mean your front windows are tinted too or to the same %.

Traffic Cops that don't have anything better to do will stop you just for the hell of it. :shakes head:

Have him reason of suspicion.

Look I can't stand cops ESP when they bust your balls but ya can't really argue this. They're there to enforce rules and laws, of course were gonna love the cops that let us get away with this stuff and of course were gonna hate the ones who don't. He doesn't have to see it, just cuz your hiding your windows doesn't mean they aren't tinted and doesn't mean he can't ask to see them.

That's like saying your not breaking the law by having a brick of coke in your glove box. Just cuz he can't see it doesn't make it legal.

You can tint the back as dark as you want as long as you have side view mirrors, but sides are max 70%.

You guys do realize that its not "not that bad?" ?

70% is factory tint. And no im not talking dark tint, im talking the barely noticable green anti UV tint that every aingle car has.


In other words, absolutely zero aftermarket tint is allowed in the front

Mine came with no factory tint.

Felt like people were eyeballing me and burning holes into my head on the drive home from Vegas. :eekdance:

The laws are the same here in PA and I run 20% all the way around. That's gotta suck man.
