Pulled over for tints...while windows were down.

Yeah at least it was just a warning OP.

Next time will be a fixit ticket, arguing about how he found about it is pretty worthless since at the end of the day you're in violation and got caught

You drive a high-profile car with limo tint, you're going to get popped again

No doubt i'm taking this shiit off. However its pretty ridiculous to assume there was a violation without having seen a violation. Read my example of assumption that I speed because I drive a Z. Should I be pulled over, warned, and eventually ticketed for that too?

He likely based the darkness of the glass behind the side windows. LEOs need just reasonable suspicion; not necessarily sole probable cause. He probably let you off because he didn't have a tint meter to gauge your tint.

I rarely issue citations unless it's blatant--5% tint on the entire windshield, for example.

Edit: NY's tint statute states 70% for both front and side windows maximum, with no limit on the back window. 35% is in violation by half.
