Gold Member Username: Trey4sportsPost Number: 1027 Registered: Sep-06 | im thinking about getting 20% or 15% all the way around on my vehicle and im wondering if cops can pull you over just for too dark of tint. i know 35% on front is legal limit but i dont know if cops can just ticket you whenever they catch u speeding and throw in the tint ticket as well or if they see you driving doing the limit, and yet pull you over merely for too dark of windows? also if they can is it really enforced very often?? |

Silver Member Username: Mike11202DE US Post Number: 259 Registered: Nov-06 | Yes they can.. go to your doctor and get a note and they can pull u over for ur windows being to dark.. they rarely do but if your playing music loud theres more likely of a chance they would meter ur windows get the note and ur all set |

Silver Member Username: NorthomahaPost Number: 285 Registered: Mar-06 | it depends on your local laws but around here they can stop you for tint alone, and i had 20% all around and never got stopped but its a good excuse for cops to pull you over |

Gold Member Username: AdddisorderWest palm, Florida Post Number: 4082 Registered: Jan-06 | guess what in most states that is still illegal and a doctors note wont do sh;t in that case. i know in FL and many others the law clearly states no tint darker then xx% even if you need it medically. BTW i have 15% on my front windows and the limit is 30 and i havnt gotten pulled over the past 2 years but i roll my windows down by cops. |

Gold Member Username: AdddisorderWest palm, Florida Post Number: 4085 Registered: Jan-06 | ^^^it only works in some states in alot of states even a DR note will not excuse you from having dark tint and you will still get a ticket. |

Silver Member Username: ReppinqcCharlotte, NC USA Post Number: 173 Registered: Jan-07 | well IMO it depends on what kinda tint your gonna get...if your gonna get a 5% wrap on your car then yea a doctors note would be a good idea. Also if you drive around all day a bump then if you have dark tints cops are prolly gonna pull you. if they do and you werent speeding or anything then will write you up for illegal tints. I live in NC and the tint laws for front windows just got crazy. I have a tint on my front windshield and if i get caught with it i can face over a 1000$ fine. |

|
Silver Member Username: ReppinqcCharlotte, NC USA Post Number: 191 Registered: Jan-07 | yea by limo do you mean 5% or what most limos now have...a 5% on top of a 5%? anyway i would think that most Dr.'s wouldnt just randomly write you a note if you asked them for one...thats JMO tho |
|
Silver Member Username: ReppinqcCharlotte, NC USA Post Number: 192 Registered: Jan-07 | hell yea a 1000 is a lot...i think im gonna take my front windshield tint off just so i dont risk 1000$'s...but yea if you have a double limo and you ride around bumpin then most cops will pull you over just b/c it looks sketchy to them |

Gold Member Username: StnorrisRE SX 15, IA US Post Number: 2143 Registered: Apr-06 | it really just depends on what state ur in...im in Iowa and the darkest in front is 70%, which is really nothing. so if you were in this state or have a similar law i would say DONT TINT IT. i got pulled over once with a warning, and then i got the ticket. Its not worth it ...ull get pulled over sometime NO MATTER WHAT |

Silver Member Username: StevefrenchPost Number: 133 Registered: Jan-07 | stupid question...is 5% darker than 70%? |
|
Bronze Member Username: Splfreak7564Michigan Post Number: 69 Registered: Mar-07 | yes 5% is limo (real dark) 70% is nothing. Lower the number darker the tint. |

Silver Member Username: ReppinqcCharlotte, NC USA Post Number: 193 Registered: Jan-07 | yea steve...the %'s are the amount of light that the tint allows through...so if you have a 5% then only 5% of the light that hits the tint goes through.... |
