Window Tinting
#61
You all are forgetting one thing. If 35% is legal in your state and you go to a tint shop and they put 35% tint on your windows you are now illegal because the windows already have tint built into them from the factory and with 35% tint put on by shop you are know at 28% and can be stopped and given a repair ticket.

People get tickets for tint if they get pulled over for something else. They will just stack a tiny ticket on top of your speeding ticket, but they won't pull you over for just tint. And I'm pretty sure the front doesn't have tint on it. And the shop has a tint reader. If you ask for something legal that's what you will get. And if you did get a ticket the shop says they will pay it.

it's bad in michigan, i mean terrible. state and local police use the "no tint on front windows unless it's a 4" strip at the top" law to pull people over right and left here. then, they will nickle and dime you on other tickets to make it all add up. it's a very ridiculous process. if a city needs money, just let me know in advance and i'll make some type of donation. relying on petty traffic offenses to fund the operation of a city/police force is terrible business, i'm sorry. get the drunk drivers, get the old people who haven't taken a vision test in 10 years, get the teeny boppers group texting their latest self shot they took while driving. dont get the guy respecting the speed limit in a nice, new car with thousands invested. As always, you have cool cops who don't care but for every one of those, there's another two who will pull you on sight.
The argument here is that police can't see what the driver or passenger is doing behind tinted glass. But the law states you have to roll your front window down when you're pulled over so it's not much of an argument. The intergalactic, ultra-gamma LED spotlight show that these new cruisers blast on your face is more than capable of keeping police officers safe at night. If drivers don't roll their front windows down when getting pulled over, THAT should be a ticket. not just having tint.

From there cops here don't pull for tint either. They don't even add it on. A lot of departments don't carry tint meters. The city cops around here do. The county cops do not.
I also find it hard to believe that you know every tinter in the country. Just because you don't know a tinter that will pay for a ticket doesn't mean it's bs.

Come on bro. Stop being silly. The percentage is how much light is allowed in. Just because the factory glass is treated for UV. It doesn't block anything. So if you get 35% tint it is indeed 35%.

Pretty true.
I don't think your "tint meter" will protect them. So it's not or their "safety".

Has anyone ever used Solar Gard? One of the highest rated shops around uses Solar Gard and it's all machine cut into one piece. Quoted me NR $169.95, HP $239.95, Supreme $269.95, HP Supreme $299.95, Ultra Perf $399.95. NR is charcoal and has metal shavings which will mess with signals... The rest of his prices seem crazy high.

ASK A PROFESSIONAL TINTER. I know I was on the receiving end of one ( HAD 35% TINT ) but mettered out at 28% because of the factory Tint at the inspection Station. How do you think they check the light that passes through the window ? I had to have it removed at a inspection station. "NOT" every trooper will pull you over most will not, but there is the occasional one that will here in Maryland and Delaware. Believe it or not if I was driving in another State I could actually get a ticket for tint or no front license plate in that State. Even if that State does not have tint or no front plate laws. If you do not believe that "LOOK IT UP.
I did not say I knew every Tinter in the Country, but I am willing to bet it would be very hard to find one that would give you a Guarentee like that. Do you realize how much business a good tinter does in a year. If they had to pay every ticket that is given out they would be out of business very quickly here in Maryland and Delaware.

I did not say the Tint meter protects them. Please read carefully. I said they carry them to check Tint when they pull you over. The part about safety is, if you have darker Tint then the law allows, for example Marylnd is 35% it is hard for the officer to see what you are doing in the car ( reaching for a gun possibly, or hiding drugs ) specially at night Tint looks darker, and if he can not see you then it becomes a safety issue for the cop. Why do you think the have Tint Laws ? Just to **** people off ? Try looking at it on the cops side.
