Tint Question
I just got pulled over for my tint being too dark. I wasnt doing anything wrong accept my tint was too dark. He was a dick, i guess he was just in the check tint mood because he said he just caught someone with 3% tint. My question is can i get pulled over for just my tint. I heard that you couldn't get pulled over for tint alone but if you got pulled over for something else he could ding for it. Just wondering. I live in minnesota in case its different for different state.
Thanks
PS I know why people hate cops now, wow what a ****in dick!
PIGS!

I believe that in ALL states it is a none moving violation, so if he pulls you over for something else (say you were swerving in and out of traffic), he could not ticket you for that THEN check the tint and bust you for that one. I'm not sure what the tint laws are in Minnesota, but if it is noticeable tint difference, I'm sure he could justify it by calling it a hazard to others on the road (or something like that). Either way, it should just be a fix-it ticket. Find out for sure though, call or visit your local police station and act like a concerned citizen who's looking to obey the law and say that you are just checking.

In Wyoming they can pull you over.. each state has their own legal limit on what your tint can be. In WY it's something ridiculous, like 35 in the front and 27 in the back.. I've had no problems with 20 (at least in Colorado anyways..) As long as they can see a sillouette through the window they dont care. If you had 3, i can see where the problem is. It's a mere "safety risk" to not be able to see the people in the car. It's just a bunch of crap.
If you see a cop on your tail, roll down your windows.

Where i live you can get a waiver for tinted windows from the department of motor vehicle, but you have to get a doctor to fill it out stating your photosensitive and then take it back to dmv and then if cops stop you they cant do anything about it.

Around here if you get pulled over for tint the cop will either
1.Take a key and slash across it(so youre forced to take it off sooner or later)
or
2.Hand you a knife and make you scrape it off right there on the road.

I know in my area it's 22% or up on front two, but none on the windsheild and as dark as you want on the back two with no less than 5% on the back window (silohette) At least that's what I've been told from a tinting place.
Fix It tickets basically run as: 1) you fix it, show pictures to the court and they waive it; 2) you pay the $80> fine and it doesn't go on your record (not a moving violation as mentioned above)

It might vary by state, but if it's something the cop can notice while driving around, then they have cause to cite you for just that. In Cali, you can't have ANY tint on the front side windows, although most people get away with about 50%. The basic law here states that you must be able to see the driver (for id purposes in hit and run... and someone said to see a driver's motions as a side benefit)

Why is the tint on your dad's truck darker in the front than back?
