Anyone that is cited for tint violations are fined. The fines are not light fines either, around $300+ if I'm not mistaken. Police carry a meter to determine if the shade of tint is legal or not. If the fines are not paid, warrants would be issued and / or other punishments dealt, just like any other non paid citation.Maybe some of the boys of the blue line gang do not want to do their job by stopping and ticketing these offenders because they do not have the proper training or equipment to give probable cause to write the citations....... And possibly the inability of the prosecuters and judges to carry foward with prosecution........ So for these possible reasons then why should they try and issue tickets for the possibly over tinted windows if nothing is going to happen to the offenders. ............... drill sgt.

However, the cat seems to have escaped out of the bag. "Cracking down" on tint violations may, we can hope, draw negative attention to law enforcement, given the fact that it is becoming more widely accepted as beneficial and harmless to the average person. The question is, will this law be allowed to continue to be used against the population when it only serves the state and not the people.
No doubt some people are extremely stupid and would put double layers of 5% all around their vehicle and we all know that is less than ideal. However, current legal tint is generally 40%. 40% tint is hardly even noticeable. So, to try and claim that setting the legal shade at 40% is for public safety is a bit, well, dishonest. 5% windows are a bit dark but can very well be used safely and are used safely by many people. 20% is ideal, very beneficial and still operable at night for anyone without vision problems. The difference from 20% to 40% is very substantial.And where do the police get the tint meters they all carry?
As far as "more widely accepted as beneficial and harmless to the average person," it's always been widely known that tint can be beneficial. I don't believe that was ever denied. What was in question is the level of tint that's allowed. To say that having a max legal level only serves the state and not the people isn't accurate. Let's look at the extreme, driving at night with 0% tint. If you believe the tint law only benefits the state and not the people, it follows that you would believe it's acceptable and safe to drive at night with 0% tint. If it's unsafe, then the law must benefit the people, even if it benefits the state. We can discuss what level is safe and acceptable but I have difficulty believing a rational person would label the 0% tint at night as safe.

20% on the windshield is pushing it, depending on the shade rest of the windows. 35% on the windshield is very ideal.
Law says no tint on windshield, period - this is far from protecting the public
Law says 40% on front windows - this is far from protecting the public
I don't know where the meters come from, I only know that they exist. Maybe not all police carry them, I don't know. What I do know is that, at least some do, and they are used to determine if the shade is too dark and whether to fine someone for it being darker than a nearly useless shade of 40%.
RS 32:303 Headlamps on motor vehicles; motorcycles and motordriven cyclesPersonally, I think we should trade the tint laws for laws against squatted trucks. I've seen trucks and SUVs with 10" or bigger lifts on the front and nothing, or even lowered in the back. Maybe they have some weird thing with sky gazing while driving, but I'd wager these people are likely legally retarded and probably shouldn't operate a vehicle at all. Not to mention their headlights blinding everyone the pass and low flying aircraft. This is actually dangerous, unlike window tint. I'll take not seeing other drivers over being forced to witness such cringe douchebaggery 100%
I never said there should be a legal limit. I don't care if people paint every window on their car with black spray paint. If they do something negligent, and it causes harm, they will be held responsible, as they should. Most people are smart enough to not do unsafe things and those people should not live under rules that have been set to retard standards.Setting a limit is either to protect the public or it's only to benefit the state. You can be not happy with what the limit is and you may feel the limit should be lower but that a subjective thing. The limit you feel is just right will surely be seen as too low by some and too high by others. You feel 35 is ideal but the next person will call you a shill for the state because they feel a limit as high as 35 is far from protecting the public.
In my experience, if a cop pulls you specifically for window tint, he's either using it as a reason to pull you and find something else, you're being a retard, or that cop is simply bored/trying to make a quota...
Besides, majority of cops have their personal vehicles tinted pretty dark themselves, so who are they to write a ticket on someone else anyway...
I talked to the guy where I get my MVI about tint. He said some will take the tint off to get the sticker and then go have it put back on.State inspection stations are supposed to have the tint meters, too dark, no inspection sticker or reject sticker
It’s probably the quota……or that cop is simply bored/trying to make a quota...
Just as much of a reason to have windshield tint as the fireball in the sky. Not only do we have the ass draggers / squatters but everyone and their mama has the cheapest, brightest LED's that light up the tree tops.Looks like Title 32 is a thing of the pass as for as enforcement.

I hear that in some jurisdictions, you get a free toaster if you exceed the quota by at least 10%.It’s probably the quota……
