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.

That's concerning that an officer can just create the law as he goes.....

Here if you get a tint ticket all you have to do is pay it. You don't have to remove the tint. Have gotten 2 in a bizillion years... the first the cop wrote the wrong violation code, so it went away, the second cost $80. Both times, the cop only made the stop for tint, nothing else.

Why can't people just be like that?

Tint? Expect a ticket.

Got a ticket? Pay it.

Remove the tint, or keep it.

Keep it? Be prepared for another ticket.

Pissed? Write to your US government.

in my country we can tint the hell out of a car

I guess that doesn't not benefit one when thieves tint their cars and come at you and you don't have a clue they have guns pointing at you.

because, you know, there's no way anyone in japan could steal stuff on a motorcycle or anything...

Says Japan I wish. I'm sure that means he wishes he was in Japan.

I disagree with the tint rules but I follow them. Here 35% all around is legal, but only recently and I waited until it was legal to get it. I think if someone is going to shoot a cop, they won't NOT try it because they don't have tinted windows, they can just have the gun hidden and whip it out.. it just sounds stupid that everyone is stopped from having dark windows because a mad man might use it to hide a gun.

Our homes aren't required to have cleared windows and someone could be pointing a gun behind blinds at whoever comes up to the door..

Of course, I do think once the driver's visibility is affected by the darkness, that should obviously be illegal as it affects safety of everyone on the road if you can't see something off to the side. But visibility of someone outside of your car looking in? None of their business..

I was getting creeped out at work when people would ask me where I live because they saw me on so and so road. Someone else joked about seeing me sing in my car.. maybe I did, idk, then when I got my new car again, people started mentioning it to me and I know I never see them in the parking lot so they must have seen me driving.

I'm sorry that's creepy and weird, I personally almost never see what another driver looks like. I've never in my two years working here seen a coworker driving. I don't understand how they saw me unless they're staring into people's cars intently looking at their faces, and I never do that. I feel like its an invasion of privacy, yes I know the roads are public but well, I don't have a reason other than its uncomfortable people can stare at you in your own private space on the road.

I really don't know how much my 35% tint blocks me now, I don't think its that dark.. but I hope it is.

It just creeps me out lol! 40-50 year old guys saying to a 22 year old girl "... I saw you in your car on ___ street today..." And I've gotten that multiple times by different people.. I just think its weird.

Its cool when its a friend but not coworkers.

Oh yea, I got it once from the Fed Ex delivery guy at my work that I see just 3 times a week... "Where do you live? I think I saw you driving this morning." I guess I'm just that weird looking that people instantly recognize me from afar

Anyway, yes I do agree it shouldnt be dark enough to affect the driver's vision. But it was dumb that no tinting (up front) was allowed in IL just up until recently.

wiirenet, there are differnet expectations of privacy in someone's home and someone vehicle. The constitution protects from unreasonable searches but homes are more protected there as well... Like you said if someone could have dark tinted windows on the front sides it could possibly cause them to miss something they needed to see at night and be hazardous, so it is for the safety of the driver and those around them that we can't have blacked out front side windows in Illinois. At lot of people don't agree with it, and there are plenty of people every year that get tickets for it.

I got a ticket for my tinted front windows today in San Luis Obispo, CA. Have never had a problem in SoCal where I'm from, given that every other person has their windows tinted and cops have better things to do, but today I happen to be driving on highway 1 in a small beach town on the central coast and a CHP officer pulled me over and wrote me up a ticket.


So I have a couple of questions that I'm hoping some of you with prior experiences can answer:

1. How much is the fix-it ticket if I have the tint removed?

2. How much is the full fine if I choose not to get my tint removed?

3. Do I have to show up to court on the date indicated on the ticket regardless if I pay the fine in full or get the tint fixed?

4. If I don't get the tint removed and pay the full fine, will I continue to get tickets sent to me every month until I do fix it since they'll have me in their records as not getting the tint removed and paying the full fine?



Any input would help, thanks!

1. Fine is on the ticket (was $50 when I had my tint. I think it's $150 now in Cali)

2. I'm not sure that's an option

3. No, you only show up to court if you want to contest the ticket

4. If you can get the ticket signed off somehow and still have your tint, you will continue to get pulled over.

Really? The ticket I got doesn't say how much the fine is.

Does getting this ticket get reported to the DMV and negatively affect my driving record?


I'm thinking I might get the tint removed, go get it signed off by the CHP and pay the reduced fine. Then go get my windows re-tinted lighter.

tints do not affect driving record as its an equipment violation not a moving violation

and thats exactly what im trying to do get lighter tints like 65-70% but they are had to find for some reason every where i go they say 50% is the lightest
