Plus, how do they justify people with wraps or toppers on their trucks. I've seen numerous cars running around with banner wraps covering rear & side windows where you can't see shit.
Those people don't have dope in their cars so who cares.

On those wraps, the light transmission is actually higher than 35% which is the legal limit. The wraps prevent people from seeing in, but not out in most cases.

Ditto,.. I have 5% tint on everything. You cant see inside any of the vehicles no matter what. But when ever I got pulled over,.. (was always for speeding) I immediately rolled the windows down so hopefully they wouldnt notice the tint. Never had any problems with them hassling me about tint.

heres on an odd question. I work at a shop and I have a few cars come in from time to time that have dark tint. If im out on a test drive in their car and a cop pulls me over for the tint, and I explain to him on just on a test drive, its not my car. What could I do if he gave me a ticket, or could he really give me one?

I think the ticket would be given to the person that the car is register to.

NO you would receve the ticket, but i think you could challenge in court.

You are driving, so you are responsible.....same as if there were drugs under the seat...."oh, it's not mine officer" "sure"....same if the tag is expired, or no insurance, or whatever.....

Now, if the officer was resonable, and you could prove to him you were a grease monkey just testing the car, he would probably not stroke you, but....."technically", they could.







Oh, for what it's worth, I tried removing tint from car windows myself once and it was a BITCH!!!!

I would recommend just taking it to a tint shop and they'll remove the old for a small fee and just get the new, legal tint at the same time.
