I don't think you'd see too many officers argue against people getting out of their car and putting their hands on the vehicle :) Idiots are idiots, it's actually quite a challenge to encourage someone to pull over in a safer area, which is exactly what you're supposed to do in the first place. |

I don't get it. Tint means you'll probably get a ticket. Just don't get tint. Then you don't have anything to qq about.

I love it when people quote documents written over 200 years ago as the reason why things are the way they are... As if our "Founding Fathers" had window tinting tickets and buying guns at Walmart in mind when they wrote all that stuff!

You DO realize, the supreme court uses the constitution, which was written over 200 years ago, as the basis for all its rulings on laws correct? |

You DO realize I'm not talking about the Supreme Court but the average Joe on the street and even then the Justices of the Supreme Court are smart enough to not try to enforce blind compliance of archaic texts but the principles of the guidance within.

That's my point... very few, if any, are. Pay attention.

when i got my windows tinted i had to sign a waiver stating that i knew it was illegal and that the shop that put it on is in no way at fault or liable for any tickets. when they do this, like most dealerships will, it put the legalities entirely upon you. and if they don't... they aren't the smartest place. personally i feel the window tint thing is a way for the state to get money, but if we're (and i include myself in this) dumb enough to break their rules we should take one on the chin. i won't put tint on my car as long as i live in NY for the sheer fact that it is one less reason to have to deal with the cops

If you're so against it, go protest. Or go move to Puerto Rico, where apparently you can have black windshields and not have an issue. IDK why you're assuming that I think the US Gov is perfect. Do you always assume like that? I'm not sure whats worse. A guy who assumes, or a guy who would rather bend over and complain about bending over? Still, with the qq. |

The Beautification of Car
|
it's like a war in here after a few post that blame on the government for the window tinting law .
I do have a window tinting shop at GA. And a reason of 95% Customer that wanted a dark tint on their car is about PRIVACY. Not a GANGSTA looking or trying to kill peoples or "drug trafficking " and about 90% got baby seat(s) on their back seat. Or what kind of tints will look good, or match the color, block more heat, feel cooler, stop the sun, save the dash.....A lot of peoples out there who worry and take a very good care of their cars inside out, that is why they need window tinting. I do understand that the cop worry about their SAFETY = TRUE. That is why i always explained to my customers very carefully about the law. Ok there is alot of young kids who wanted to look cools.....so they can put whatever tints they like on their car as long they are responsible for it. To me they should low down the tint law to at least 20% it's look almost like 32% which is the legal tint law here in GA. Alot of peoples got a tint ticket for like 20-28% which is ridiculous for those who wrote that tickets. If you can see the driver let's them go, some cops just have to pull out their tint meter and trying to make moneys out of it. my 2 cents. Last edited by jamal1984; 12-01-2009 at 08:05 AM. |

That would work in areas where there are exits close enough together to make this worth while. However, in other areas of the country where you can easily go like 20-30 miles between exits, not such a good idea.

But it sucks to be a cop, not knowing whats going on inside the car. Cops die. They need to not. So they need to be safe. At the same time, Police can give you tickets for a FMIC, even tho they come stock with Evos. Its not the Cop's job to know whats what from the factory. Thats what a REF is for. Maybe Police should just require people to turn on their dome lights. |

It's a shame that tint shops don't have the integity to apply only legal tint rather than take whatever money walks through the door.
That said it's the officers call here in Ontario (Canada). No specific specification is written into the law, it's just the officers discretion.

IMO, the majority of tint law are reasonable and allow for a dark enough tint, unless you are afraid of what someone might see inside your car for whatever reason. Save the dark tints show cars but, keep the tints light enough when on public roads so I can see WTF you are doing in there! |
